So what are you Pathfinder players/dms been up to? Running any adventure paths? Whats your character’s build/concept? 1st edition or 2nd edition? Just wanted to make a post for a general discussion.

Its a lot easier than you think. The easiest way to learn (at least in my opinion) is to just read. You dont have to read every word of the Core Rulebook, but at least look through it all, and definitely read the middle section about combat (aka how the game actually works). You’re already playing 2e, so learning 1e shouldnt be that hard. If you need any of the books as pdf just ask, but all the rules and options are available for free on Archive of Nethys (which also has a 2e section). And the Paizo forums are great for asking questions or looking for answers.
Also Eberron is awesome. My favorite setting by far. Shame Keith Baker probably wont be able to continue writing stuff for Eberron due to WoTC.
I have to say I think I’m leaning more towards 3.5 for the flavor and a slight bit more grittiness and somewhat lower HP. But it doesn’t preclude me from moving on towards PF1e if I see rules gaps, or mixing and matching.
I wouldn’t be altogether too surprised of Baker launches a new setting under the ORC license, since he’s discussed working on a new one.
As a long time player of 3.5e and Pathfinder, I would go with Pathfinder. Although I love the aesthetics of 3.5e and that whole era, the balance changes that Pathfinder brought makes it more fun for everyone.
Yeah he was talking about a wild west themed “wandslinging” new area for Eberron, and now he’s thinking about just making it its own thing. If anyone can make that idea work, its Keith Baker.
Can I just merge the better rules and balance changes (grappling) into 3.5?
It does seem like the explanation of rules in 3.5 may be messier than how they’re explained in PF.
