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.

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.
Nope! Other than calculating CMD and CMB on the fly when necessary, you should be able to run the scenarios as written. There are a few threads on the Society messageboards where people are discussing this.
well i cannot download this yet, but, its dont really hard to convert a few things. where the problems comes, is in the other classes, like warlock, hexblade from the phbII and all other classes from the complete compendiums, i dont miss the pleaase,and i hope never release a book with them, they has a really use in the real game?

Hi there:
The classes that you mention aren't open content and are owned by Wizards of the Coast. We can't provide any conversions for them since doing so would break copyright law and would most likely get us sued! So I don't think you need to worry about use releasing them in a book. :)
