[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 5059679, member: 957"] You won't be stuck at all. If the other class was weak before, then it will be weak now. If it was really powerful before, then it will be a small bit less powerful than it was. But all in all it ends up in the same basic range. Skills are very simple to adapt. If you old character had ranks in Hide or Move Silently, they have ranks in Stealth now. And in the likely case that they had ranks in both, some of those skill points are now freed up. But everything maps neatly over. And it would not be difficult to just keep the old skill system if you prefer. As for 3PP spells, you can probably use them as is and continue to have the same result. If you thought it was broken before, PF won't fix it. But if you thought it was fine, nothing about PF will disrupt that. You could probably very easily follow the trends established in PF spell tweaking if you wanted to be completely in sync. But it isn't at all mandatory. You won't be stuck at with anything. My complete 3E library is still on the shelf and I don't even think of PF as a different game. In Paizo's own words: [s]3.5 survives[/s] 3.5 thrives. They built it with keeping all the foundation of 3.5, and everything built upon that foundation. [/QUOTE]
