For comparison purposes, the PF Core has 180 feats, give or take a couple. So we're talking about roughly 2/3 what the original book has to offer.

Paizo likes to have spell-likes run off of Charisma, regardless of context. There are exceptions (rogues being the most obvious), but not many. I think they just don't like people using Charisma as a dump stat. ;)

For some reason, every time I try to picture someone using enemy hammer, it's a goblin sorcerer. I wonder why that is...?

The reason for it is that it allows Paizo to make new animals, magical beasts, elementals, plant creatures, and so on, without worrying about how each one might overpower the druid. The spells are balanced - mostly, anyway - so it doesn't matter if the animals are. I wouldn't change it back...

I was talking about the spells in the polymorph spells specifically, which are indeed much different from (and generally much less impressive than) the generic size change modifiers from the Bestiary. You don't lose your racial modifications, and as far as I know, there are no changes to...

You may have already looked this stuff up, but to answer the question anyway: you get specific size modifications to your physical stats for pretty much any spell in the polymorph school*. As a rule, shifting to a Medium form gets you +2 Strength, while shifting to a Small form gets you +2 Dex...

Kinda bummed that there's no unarmed strike fighter build, at least not apparently so. Maybe there will be some love for that build in the feats...

If the expected Asian-style fantasy book comes out next year as Paizo is planning, I an hoping/assuming that the APG's archetypes mechanics will serve as the baseline for samurai fighter variants, ninja rogue variants, wushi wizard variants, and so on... that way we won't have to suffer through...

Ironically, it looks like there isn't anything in the new stuff that's half as much fun to argue about as sorcerer bonus spells known. ;) Alternate favored class bonuses aside (though, honestly, I'd much rather complain about how bad the elven wizard bonus is, and how much of an auto-take the...

This is true. In fact, there's a difference between getting a new spell known at 6th level and one at 7th. I would personally almost always take the spell option on the even levels (not counting 2, obviously), and then take the hit point on the following odd level; the relative value of the...

Ah, reductio ad absurdum, how I love thee so. No, she doesn't need more spells known. She might want them, but she doesn't need them, and she probably wants more hit points and more skill points as well. Moreover, she gets more spells known as she levels up, so what we're talking about is how...

Looks like you'll be pretty excited for the Advanced Player's Guide then, eh?

And by level 11, she'll have all but one of them, or all of them, depending on her bloodline. I've gotten along just fine as a sorcerer on many occasions with resist energy, darkvision and see invisibility as either scrolls or wands. (I haven't ever bothered with the rest, to tell the truth, at...

Given that I was one of the people most involved in arguing the other side, and that I almost exclusively DM, I wouldn't rely on that judgment too strongly.

Correction on the priest: they only have spontaneous casting from a single domain, not all three, and only if they choose to give up their spontaneous casting of cure/inflict spells.

Just for the record, NPCs with PC class levels should use the elite array, while NPCs with NPC class levels use the standard array (13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8). For more information, see "Step 2: Determine Ability Scores" in the Creating NPCs section of the Pathfinder core (pages 450 and 451).
