Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Conversion Guide (OGL) PDF
Paizo Publishing, LLC
This guide is intended to make converting your 3.5 game to the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game quick and easy. It includes rules for converting characters, monsters, feats, spells, prestige classes, and magic items from the 3.5 version of the rules to the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. To use this conversion guide, you will need a copy of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook, as page numbers and tables referenced throughout this conversion guide refer directly to that book. While the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Bestiary (due out in September, 2009) is useful in converting monsters, the guidelines in this document will suffice until its release.
The first half of this document addresses how to convert characters, covering everything from ability scores to experience points. This step-by-step process is primarily for adjustments to player characters, but a quick version is presented later for making changes to minor NPCs and villains. The second half of this document deals with converting existing mechanics, including prestige classes, feats, spells, and magic items. While this guide tackles a wide variety of issues, Game Masters should expect to adjudicate a number of minor issues that fall outside this scope.

First of all, I am new to Pathfinder, but have been playing 3.5 (mostly FR, since it came out). I was exited when a buddy of mine told me that Pathfinder had picked up the mantle of 3.5 gaming and was going to run with it. I didn't know anyone had and was affraid 3.5 would die out. This was the first thing I downloaded from the site and after reading it, wow, I am very exited about seeing whatelse they have. This pdf convinced me that Pathfinder is going to take 3.5 in a good direction. I cant wait to read the core rule book.

Does this convert to the Beta Playtest rules or to the newly released Core Rulebook rules?

Anything anywhere to convert PF Beta to Core? I'm running Beta and I don't want to yank stuff out from under my players by switching to Core. BTW, I did purchase the Core Rules.

Not that I am aware of. I would just use the 3.5 to pfrpg as a roadmap, making sure you go over any feats and such and you should be fine. I never had to convert from beta to pfrpg though as I only GM the pfrpg. My players had very little problems converting from beta to the final rules, with the exception of some feats I allowed them to switch out as they didn't make much sense under the final rules.
