Now, I do believe many of the conversations here, on rpg.net, and other such places exaggerate some of the 3rd Edition problems, but those problems do exist.  They still exist in Pathfinder as well.  With the party being 8th level, the casters in the party are going to start (if they haven't already) acquiring spells which are quite literally game changing.</blockquote>
