Pros and cons?
How much cross over can I get from 3.5 sources to pathfinder if I were inclined to get it?
I ask this because there is a strong strong possibility that my new friends (not the whiny spags that can't hack anything), will be up for a weekly RPG session.
You can pretty much do and have the same things as 3.5, you just have to do a slight recalculation is all.
Pathfinder has pretty much all the core stuff from D&D except what Wizards is claiming is their super special intellectual property (IE, the things that are fan submissions), and psionics. Anything from 3.5 can be converted pretty easy as well (except psionics).

Psionics suck anyway. They always have, right from the beginning.
I've been meaning to try my hand at them actually. No reason not to start over since Paizo isn't going to touch it, and the 'professionals' in the third party business that did it are letting a guy who calls himself Soulwolf write for them.

Odds he is a douchebag: 1:1

Publishing game materials under a pagany pseudonym....that calls for some kind of pain to be inflicted.
Is it worth getting the actual core book or is the PRD good enough?

Flammable booze.

Book and Bestiary.

You need at least one physical book for the game table (unless you want to pass around your laptop), I'd say you need the same for the bestiary(s) as a DM, unless you are extremely meticulous about notes.
I don't think he actually publishes under that name, but I was involved in the beta testing briefly, and that's what he uses on the forum.
I was just thinking about this the other day... odd.
Is there a noticable difference in powerlevel between pathfinder and 3.5 classes, in other words if I were to use 3.5/OGL monsters would I have to buff them up to a noticable degree?
Depends on the class. In general it's going to be worth running the numbers, but I've done some 3.5 monsters that the party barely survived despite it being CR+1 (admittedly, it was a trio of Paizo monsters, but still from the 3.5 days).

The standard rule is to drop the CR of 3.5 creatures by 1, or re-write them using the back of the bestiary. Pathfinder characters are about 20% more powerful than 3.5 characters.
So how is using Chaositech working out with PF? Looking for more weird shit that shouldn't even exist for my campaign.

Very well. I can shoot you the PDF of the rules, if you like.
For a given value of "well."
Fracture,
knows her party is just going to break the shit or sell it. :D

Oh, I think I mostly want it simply to have more options on making my
victims players more disturbed.
I think I have to get myself the Bestiary 2. Must abuse the Worms that Walk.
I totally missed that... I think I know what I'll be doing for my cultists now. :evil:
