[QUOTE="enrious, post: 5768609, member: 2126"] In Pathfinder, it is balanced around 4 or 5 PCs, not just 4. And there's no simple CR equivalency - not that there really was on in 3.x either. Yes and no - other feats got nerfed. The only universal statement you can say with any degree of truth is simply that some feats changed. Couple of things. Just because one person doesn't believe something to be true, OP, doesn't mean that it can't be done. The key is understanding what impact the prior content will have as well as how they will compare to Pathfinder material. I also find it laughable that it takes a "near-professional understanding of how game balance works" given that at least one of the current Pathfinder developers has said that they purposefully introduced material designed to screw with "balance". And even at that, all it takes is a little intelligence and common sense. At worst, pick up the Trailblazer RPG pdf for $5 and you'll know as much as the big boys about the fundamentals of the system. In other words, don't feel you must pray at the altar of balance to incorporate material into your Pathfinder game. It's about what's fun and what works for you and your group. No, and it wasn't true when 3.0 went to 3.5 either. Or when 1e went to 2e for that matter. [/QUOTE]
