[QUOTE="Dark Mistress, post: 5620612, member: 11816"] That hasn't really been improved. Which is one reason when i run I just used Pathfinder adventures, they are well written and I don't have time to make up my own anymore. If you just stick with Pathfinder and pathfinder 3pp stuff it is much better balanced this time than things was in 3E. not perfect of course but much better than before. This hasn't changed at all. High level stat blocks are still very long. This has been the most addressed part. With the new changes of the core classes getting boosts and other things, it is normally better to stay in your core class unless you have a very good reason to switch or pick up a PrC. Since I started playing Pathfinder i find almost no one switching classes or picking up PrC's anymore, unlike 3e. Well you can check out the PRD which is much like the SRD was and get the rules for free that way. Plus I would also point out all the hardback rule bucks have PDF's for only 10 bucks so you could also check them out that way. I am honestly not sure Pathfinder has changed enough to make you happy. You also might want to consider checking Sword and Wizardry as well, another retro clone like Castles and Crusades but with some differences. [/QUOTE]
