[QUOTE="paradox42, post: 5960970, member: 29746"] It's mostly in the skills, but there are significant differences in the way some feats work- for example, Cleave is very different (for the 3.5 version, or anyway the closest facsimile, you need to take Great Cleave), and Power Attack no longer allows you to set it yourself- it scales automatically based on BAB. A few monster abilities were changed too. Perhaps [B]most[/B] important for this book (admittedly, I don't have it yet myself, but just based on it being a [B]vampire[/B] bestiary), [I]Undead are no longer immune to critical hits[/I]- and also, they automatically get their CHA bonus added to things that CON would be added to for living creatures. In less detailed terms and other words, the changes PF made to how monsters work are mostly in the changes PF made to how [I]rules[/I] work- and therefore, they are many and subtle, difficult or impossible to pick out at a casual glance- but quite significant in play nonetheless.
