List of changes from Beta to Final?

[Jason Ellsworth-Aults]

Hey all,

My group started the RotR AP using the Beta rules, and I just ordered the final rules from Amazon. Is there a list somewhere of the changes so we can easily convert our characters?

Thanks,
Jason

A few things you can do while waiting.

Paizo added a Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Reference Document to thier webpage with everything from the PFRPG.

You can also download for free the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Conversion Guide, I have not seen this so I don't know how good it is.

Thanks, but I am actually looking for a list of changes between the Beta and final rules.

Thanks,

As far as I know there isn't one. There are threads discussing stuff, and one could pick up many of the changes going trough them... You're pretty doomed to do what we've all been doing, reading the new rules ;)

The list of changes between the Beta and the final is so long that it is way too unwieldy to use as a reference. Your best bet is to grab the conversion guide as it goes over the major differences between 3.5 and the final rules. As for the Beta, your best bet is to convert each character and note the changes. Most of the big changes happened on the PC side of the screen.

I really wouldn't mind seeing a list of the changes though. Iv'e seen a lot here and there that just don't jump out at you so it might be a good idea to start one, (minus obvious class changes). Doesn't have to be about how it changed specifically, just pointing out it did. No offense, but I didn't find the conversion guide all that helpful for my group.

For example,

Magic Item Creation has changed (almost completely)
Mithral Armor changed a bit (now need proficiency in base armor)
Animated Shields changed a lot (short duration, no Tower shields)
