[QUOTE="GlassJaw, post: 3889392, member: 22103"] With 4E on its way, I didn't think I'd want to run a 3.5 game again until I was able to fully evaluate 4E. Pathfinder has changed that. So I'm thinking about starting a Pathfinder 3.5 campaign but I definitely want to shake things up a bit. Here are some of my main priorities: I definitely want to use a different magic system (possibly spell points or similar to Arcana Evolved) and action points. I'll probably tone the level of magic items down a tad, especially since I'll be using AP's. I might remove some of the more troublesome spells as well. I definitely want to change the druid's wild shape. I might use the variant from the PHB2. I'm not a big fan of animal companions either, paladin's mount and familiar included. In my experience, they just seem to slow things down. I'd like to replace those abilities with something else. Skill system - I definitely want to reduce the number of skills. I don't think I want to go so far as to use the SAGA system but at the minimum, I'll combine things like Spot & Listen and Hide & Move Silently. So now that 3ed is firmly entrenched, what are your "core" rules changes that you've incorporated and now use for your campaigns? [/QUOTE]
