Check Wulf Rathbane's Trailblazer previews for some goodies which streamline it even further.BETA book also contained sample monster stats and DCs guidelines.Orizons/cantrips are not limited. Staves are rechargeable. Bonded items may yield additional spell slot. Most classes get additional abilities. In short, yes, the characters should last longer, though "going nova" is still a possibility... though, in my opinion, it has to do more with ineffective resource management than system deficiencies.See above (and Trailblazer previews).It's pretty easy to convert NPCs. New skill systems makes it very easy to generate highlevel skill sets.XP per encounter is easier to calculate.BETA version contained no Golarion references. Same goes for final, as far as I know.Yes, quite a lot actually. Most of them got a bump in order to make them on the par with enhanced core classes. For details, you may want to check Pathfinder forums, though.Two definite improvements:- class section contains all class information- exhaustive index at the end of the bookThe BETA contained a glossary, too. Also, PFRPG aims to be a complete book, so amount of crossreferencing should be minimal.There were changes to the magic item creation (craft roll, no Xp expenditure) and to the "big six" in general (there are items with multiple stat bonuses, higher magic weapon bonuses allow to bypass material DR prerequisites, i.e. +4 weapon bypasses DR:Adamantine now), however one would have to check final version for specifics.PFRPG does a lot of nice things for everyone. Some of those things may be deemed inadequate or insufficient, but I have yet to meet a person who finds the book to be disruptive to 3.5 campaign. Regards,Ruemere</blockquote>
