I have some House Rules for Savage Worlds that would work very well with Savage Pathfinder IMHO. One of the main ones is that you use your stat die in place of the 1d6 Wild Card die. So if your stat for a skill is only a d4, you'll roll a 1d4 + your skill die. If your stat is a1d8 or 1d10, you'll roll that + your skill die. This means that a character's stats matter much more (for both good and bad) than in standard Savage Worlds, which is right in line with Pathfinder!

That... seems like it would just mess with the basic math of SW, and I don't see how it makes it more Pathfinder-y.
