Message: <blockquote data-quote="Zil" data-source="post: 4676364" data-attributes="member: 20004">It's not that difficult to mix and match 3.5 and Pathfinder characters and a lot can be done on the fly.  I know I do that all the time for the Pathfinder games I run and it's not too much of a chore.   The main thing I adjust is hit dice type/hit points and the odd skill (spot/listen become perception, etc) and I might add the odd feat if this is an NPC of higher level.Why not just create said Elan warlock/swordmage using the various WoTC 3.5 books?  The only things you need to adjust away from 3.5 are the number of feats (you'll have a few more over the life of the character than in straight 3.5) and skill selection.  I don't quite understand what you mean by the change to feats that would make it more difficult to use one from one of the Complete splat books.Hey, you can't always have it both ways.  ;-)  You are faulting them for changing Pathfinder too much from 3.5, and then you fault them for not changing it enough.   I'm one of those people who never found spell casters to be over-powered.  In most of our games, it has been the straight-up fighters who steal the show at higher levels.  Granted, our games never seem to get past 15th level or so, so your experience may be different.The new cleric is certainly quite a bit different in play.  I rather like the changes, but there is no reason you couldn't still use the old cleric alongside the new cleric in the same game.I think the main goal of Pathfinder is to keep OGL 3.5 games alive so that existing and new players can continue to play 3.5 style games into the future (and hopefully buy Paizo adventures and adventure paths).   They've also decided to try and address some complaints about the 3.x game, but for the most part this is still the 3.5 game that so many of us are familiar with.</blockquote>
