Hi there,
About a year ago I downloaded the beta, and Pathfinder seemed like a slightly altered 3.5 to me. Has the final release resulted in a more radical departure than some class, skill, and spell changes? I never had a problem with the 3.5 classes and spells, it was the prep time and the constantly changing buffs (and resulting math) of my players that made me seek out other games, as well as the fact that some players took very long turns compared to other players (Yes, you, the druid with summons and animal companion and a cohort, I am talking to you).
So basically, my question is: is Pathfinder a fixed 3.5 for you, or a continuation of 3.5 with some extra polish. If it is a fix, what did it fix (in your opinion)?
