...and how do those changes affect mixing & matching stuff?
I'm a busy guy... and I'm trying to piece together what system I'd like to run a campaign in. IOW, will I stick with 3.5Ed or would another game suit it better? Or would picking one as a core game to add bits and pieces from the other work the best?...
I think the greatest advantage Pathfinder offers is only felt if it is done without the mixing and matching. If you are still allowing a lot of 3.x stuff as well, then you are best off leaving it at 3.5 as all the subtle changes that have been made that truly affect mid to higher level playability will be blown out of the water. And I think it is the sum of these small changes combined with the restricting of rules/class/spell bloat that make Pathfinder a good "new" alternative. Otherwise you are more than likely better just to stick with the 3.5 kitchen sink.
