[QUOTE="Kristian Serrano, post: 4321916, member: 13046"] What makes me think there will be such a thing whem those materials are not open content? Besides, why wouldn't Paizo just publish and sell it's own Pathfinder PrCs that have similar effects? #1: I'm not worried about numbers as much as I am about effect. #2: Read my answers regarding quick conversion guides and effects above. Obviously, I didn't mean literally, just effectively from my own perspective. ;) Yes and no. The changes were minor enough that updating the 3.0 material was extremely easy. In some cases, the abilities granted by those 3.0 character options became obsolete under the assumptions of the revised 3.5 rules. The only aspect of 3.5 that made 3.0 material obsolete was when a 3.0 option was updated to 3.5. Well, that and the 3.0 psionics content in The Mind's Eye articles, but that was free to begin with so no complaints really. Anyway, this is all just my personal opinion. I depend on things as is because of the limited time I have in my personal life. Conversions only add more time required while prepping as a DM. With that in mind, my perspective is that of a DM rather than that of a player. Players typically have a lot less to worry about as they just need to keep the spirit of their character in tact. DMs have the job of making sure everything works smoothly in a balanced and interesting way. They are also typically the ones to invest the most money in a game. With a kid on the way and a full-time job, time and money are two things I personally cannot afford to continue to expend beyond my current investment. [/QUOTE]
