Well, I have my incomplete Witch Handbook on the handbooks forum here already: http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?topic=480.0


And here are two other threads on paizo talking about and linking to the OPs' respective witch handbooks:

@StreamOfTheSky: Thanks for the heads up.  Not having to hunt those thread links down made it much easier to compile. 

@Prime:  Thanks for the heads up.  I had glanced but didn't notice any. 

Hopefully this separation will make it easier for users to find 3.5 vs Pathfinder materials instead of having to dig through 1 big set of lists. 

Seems to me that the trend so far is generally 3.5 or Pathfinder and not usually using both.

There's a "Pathfinder" section in Base Classes.

More that they're analysed separately.

So far though, it only has the Pathfinder-specific base classes (e.g. Magus, Oracle) rather than any guides for the Pathfinder versions of 3.5 classes, like a PF Paladin handbook. So I support this guide.

This I agree with; for a 3.P game it will vary too much based on what material the DM allows to mix or which rules/wordings take precedence over which, so better to write handbooks that treat the systems separately and anyone playing 3.P can simply open them both side-by-side to make their selections.

The Magus guide doesn't work, this version does.

Just spent some time cross referencing guides from Gitp's [PF] Optimization Guides Compendium and found a whole boatload of guides that we missed. Keep in mind that I can't vouch for the quality of any of them except for Cieyrin's The Gunslinger's Handbook, Psyren's Sharpening the Mind: A Guide to the Pathfinder Soulknife, and The Hangover Cleric Build/Mini-Guide by Akal Saris. All of those guys are well known quality optimizers on Gitp.

Yo, N. Jolly here.  Looks like you've got a few of my guides here but not others. Personally I'm shocked you didn't have my alchemist guide, it's probably my post popular.  Just for completion's sake I'll give a link to all the guides I've done right here, feel free to add them.  I just like knowing that people have access to my guides if they need them.
