Iit doesnt appear there is a general athletics skill, which is a bummer, particularly since they have perception. I hate the skill tax just to do basic "action hero" type stuff (jump, climb, etc). He also seems to have separate feats for longsword and shortsword, another disappointment, as I was hoping towards a more unified weapon based feat system to avoid such a sink.  The guy would seriously be better off just using 2 short swords. I note his weapon training class feature is based off category (heavy and light). To me at least, it seems that the feats should have been as well. I'm not seeing a huge improvement in his fighting capability to make up for being nearly useless outside of combat compared to a caster with access to a horde of utility spells to basically wreck plots and solve most problems with a scroll. Inexplicably, he's actually nerfed in strength in some ways (power attack limit, expertise). Melee combatants still require a full round action to do their thing, another letdown.  I started a Golarion game with 4th edition rules, due to wanting to try the system and general 3rd edition burnout. It may end up remaining that way. I'm *really* digging their fluff, and was hoping that Pathfinder would go far enough to fixing my issues with 3rd edition. Comparing him to Seoni next week might give me a better picture however.</blockquote>
