Hey guys. I've never played Pathfinder before, but I found a meetup group very close to me that plays.
I have read it's related to 3.5. I have played 3.0 in the past, so I assume it's fairly close.
I liked the 3e system when it came out. My main issue with it was the best physical characters took 3 levels in as many classes as possible (2 or 4 for a Fighter), and that just seemed so metagamey and powergamey to me. And you seemed to gimp your build if you took any levels away from being a spellcaster.
Anyway, what books do I need to purchase to get in on a pathfinder game?
What can I expect, mechanics wise?
