[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 6163015, member: 67338"] Welcome to Pathfinder HELL. I am in the same boat. I have an old friend that really wants to RP with me in his group, but he is part of our group that fractured into pathfinder. I try to grit my teeth and play, but some of his players are real pains about D&D. Pathfinder is just enough 3.5 that the basic flaws were not addressed (Fighters become wand catties and henchmen in high level play) but just different enough that I very rarely see people able to use Splat books from 3.5. Warblade, Warlock, Archivast, Duskblades, swordsages, and spell thives need to be reworked to work in the system. Also a big reason not to allow feats is that so many changed. Prestige classes as well. My suggestion is to pretend you are not playing D&D at all. Pretend this is a whole new game. It works better that way. Also you if you are concerned about balance of power after level 5, need to be a primary caster. If you just want 'close enough' I would suggest going Alchomist or Gunslinger. ALchomist can be refluffed as artificer. and Guns are a great equalizer (High damage touch attacks). The thing Piazo did best was make new classes. I wish they had just made a book of classes to add to 3.5, Magus, Gunslinger and Alchomist would all rock if they could be played in 3.5. Magus is a fun choice, but becareful you need to not get attached to your armor, and not fall into the mage armor trap.
