Overview of Pathfinder First Edition

Pathfinder First Edition, released in 2009, is an evolution of D&D 3.5 and offers an expansive world with numerous classes and races to choose from. It kept the 3.5 rules but changed the lore and naming conventions. While it may have a steep learning curve with its extensive rulebooks and options, it provides a high level of customization for character creation. The game features a wide range of classes, including barbarians, bards, clerics, druids, fighters, monks, paladins, rangers, rogues, sorcerers, and wizards, among others. Additionally, there are numerous races to choose from, such as dwarves, elves, gnomes, halflings, humans, and various others like gnolls, goblins, and lizardfolk. Pathfinder First Edition offers a more rules-heavy experience with a focus on realism and extensive rules for various actions and scenarios.
