Pathfinder, 1st Edition is a spin-off of D&D 3rd Revised Edition originally created by Paizo Publishing via the Open Game License as a vehicle for their published adventure series. It was presented as an incremental development of D&D 3.5th Edition, intended for players who rejected the changes made by D&D 4th Edition. The ability for the Open Game License to be used to create an entire replacement system, although within a new cosmology, was unintended and resulted in the immediate cancellation of the OGL for all future versions of D&D.

Benefits

• Massive company support.

Problems

• The Build and Caster supremacy entirely out of control, mainly due to the additional support books finding it easy to include extra spells, but not extra combat options.
• Game Balance basically collapsed due to added layers of complex material.
