First LOVE the new pathfinder Beta and can not wait for release into the society.
Qustion: using 3.5 PHB and having played 3.5 for many years also find your assumptions to be accurate on the character classes. Beta seems to have buffed up the classes, The point system for Char. Gen. seems low for the 3.5 version having used the 28 point system to date. how does the society compensate for the lower stats? Using 20 points rather than 28 seems to hamstring the Char. even with the faction feat bonus. Are the scenario's easier? am I missing something?
