We love Pathfinder, at least I do, and Paizo managed to get a lot of things right. Eventually however the rules will need to be updated and things will have to evolve or risk becoming stagnant.
So what are some changes that you would like to see in the future that go beyond what simple errata can cover?
Things I'd like to see!
- A complete focus on skills, perhaps a further condensing of rarely used skills. Combining Fly with Acrobatics, combining Climb and Swim and call it Athletics, Combining Knowledge History and Nobility (probably still wouldn't take it.), putting appraise in the toilet. Most importantly detailing the skills and making sure they work fluidly for all 20 levels.
- Make Feint based on CMB vs CMD, have a feat line for it like trip does.
- Create a crafting system that is fun and makes sense, not just an after thought
- Clearly defining and seperating feats into categories that make sense, and giving every character bonus fluff feats or non combat feats. This would really help flesh out characters and promote RP.
- Bring back the darkness. Every creature in the world of Galorian has either low light vision or darkvision save for Humans, Halflings, and maybe a few other things that have some other sense that trumps darkvision. This is why stealth is useless now, concealment no longer exists really. Low light vision should be rare, darkvision should be stupidly rare and saved for things that would have it based on ecology. Also, light should cost resources, not just endlessly cast on stones by a cleric and slinged down a hallway.
- Class Balance, with some good editions to prestige classes or doing away with them completely in favor of base classes or archtypes.
-Facing! Rules that make it matter, and the benefits and drawbacks of it!
