Pathfinder - Core Rulebook (Part 2)
This week on History Check, we continue looking at Pathfinder and comparing it to its contemporaries, D&D 3.5 and 4e. Our focus today will be on how Pathfinder provides more options within individual character classes, how it condenses the breadth of the D&D 3.5 skill offerings, and how it implements feats.
