In terms of classes, all of them were tweaked and redesigned so that there are no more "dead levels". You always get a new class ability or feat (or both) when you level. This is actually my favorite addition to the game.In terms of using older 3.5 material or Iron Heroes or whatever else. Yes, you can do it. Many do - most don't.I think it's a matter of what floats your boat. If you still enjoy 3.5 along with many of the 3.5 splat books? Then you can use them still with Pathfinder RPG almost without conversion (or with minimal conversion).If on the other hand, you became disenchanted with the bulk and power creep in 3.5, you can just use the base Pathfinder system. Most also use the the Pathfinder expansion hardcover (APG) to the system as well. A deliberate marketing choice that Paizo has made has been to keep the hardcover count to a dull roar each year, with only 2 or 3 new hardcovers released per year. The publication schedule is instead filled with GM focussed Chronicles products, Player oriented Companion products and, of course, stand-alone modules and Adventure Path issues.  There is a crapload of stuff to buy every month, but the power creep is more restrained. Most of the products  are setting and adeventure material and NOT rules.Imagine, a RPG company which focuses upon setting and adventures and not rules so that in a few years, their business model does not require them to revise, reset and resell an entirely new version of the game -- all over again.  That business model has an overall reduced longevity over the long haul and Paizo has not -- to date -- built their RPG line around that theme.</blockquote>
