What has changed from 3.5 in beta

[Rizzen the unkillable]

what the beta needs is a section at the back that states what they have changed, anything that is hard to find, like anuy rule or spell charges, just a small note so i dont have to look through whole book to find what has changed. when i got to end of arcane evolved there was a section on what was different, was great easy and now i know what was different. That is what beta needs.

if anyone wants to enlighten me of the changes then i would be greatful, i am slowing making my way through the book but i am running a beta game and still dont know all the chnages(some i didnt even notice when reading)

I think that there's already a thread about this. The best thing to do is to make up a fan web enhancement which everyone can add to, because I'm sure that Paizo are busy, concentrating on the actual game.

This thread might help start you off: pathfinder basics.

I posted a quick-sheet I'd made for my players. It's in very broad strokes, though.

am really looking for hard rules changes, spells and such are easy to notice when looking them up, but i dont want to have to look up every rule now am using beta, i want to know what rules(combat rules or attack rules) have changed so i look up them, and rest i can just use my knowledge from 3.5

Rather than spend pages in the print edition of fixed length, this should be a free PDF Web Enhancement.

I suggest free because it will not contain rules but merely reference them, making it a good teaser and marketing tool for those who might not yet have bought into Pathfinder when they see specifically what has been changed/addressed/fixed/improved.

Granted, an actual rules-QRC would be helpful.

FWIW,

what i dont understand why they had to reprint stuff they didnt change, no wonder its 408 pages they try to cram in both PBH and DMG, why reprint stuff from SRD that they are not changing seems to me like a waste of space since we all have access to the 3.5 books and SRD. granted some will say now we got one book to access it but then all i ask is to be told what is changed from the SRD so i dont have to go looking for it, be it a web dl or a area in back of book either way it would be nice.

((goes back to reading beta looking for changes....))

As 3.5 is no longer supported, Paizo has to reprint the full rule-set, rather than a "changes" document, to make the game playable for their customers. Pathfinder, therefore, does not require books from another game system - just this one - though you will still get the joy out of using old 3.5 material with a minimum of hassle. :)
