What about the characters that do have to use those rules, at least as a guideline? Does Drizzt level at the same rate as everyone? Settings like FR, Dragonlance, other stuff I also haven't gotten around to reading?
I can't speak for the others, but the version of the game that the Dragonlance characters were designed for is so far removed from Pathfinder as to be pretty much the same situation as trying to stat out Gandalf.
And even within that paradigm the literary characters didn't hold up to the game mechanics; Raistlin Majere, the most powerful wizard the world had ever seen, had a 17 Intelligence, which never increased (at least until his 3rd edition incarnation). This made him, as an RPG character, incapable of casting many of the spells he cast in the books - even though the original books were based on game modules.
