Over at Paizo I saw a rather active forum thread covering the desired future of Pathfinder rules.
Many people request rules for psionics, for example, or epic-level rules.
Personally I would favor an extensive expansion on the existing core classes. More options on how I can play my rogue, monk, fighter, etc. Here’s a short list of possibilities I think would add a lot:
- Barbarians: more rage powers, ability to “dex-rage” (frenzy) instead of normal rage
- Bards: more bardic performances, and ability to ignore arcane spell progression in favor of divine spell progression (possibly bagging a domain in the process)
- Clerics: move away from good/evil dichotomy; option to reduce spells known and progression in favor of casting spontaneously (like a sorcerer) (yes, essentially a Pathfinder variant of the Favored Soul)
- Druids: option to replace wild shape with having a beast bloodline
- Fighters: optional “training” variants, instead of armor and weapon training – have options to have “war training”, “officer training”, “movement training”, “maneuver training”, etc instead
- Monks: more ki powers, option to have Intelligence (Kung Fu Genius) or Charisma (Fighting Spirit) based monk bonuses (rather than Wisdom based)
- Paladins: option to give up high BAB progression to gain more abilities to powerup the party as a whole (similar to the Bard and Marshal classes); option to give up some benefit to gain paladin spells from level 1 onward
- Rangers: more combat styles (for example “Skirmish”), option to give up some benefit to gain ranger spells from level 1 onward
- Rogues: option to give up sneak attack, but gain spell-casting as a sorcerer of level equal to the sneak attack (i.e. 10d6 sneak attack = cast spells as a 10th level sorcerer)
- Sorcerers: more bloodlines (additionally expand spells and bloodlines to include “psionic” flavored ones)
- Wizards: more schools (additionally expand spells and schools to include “psionic” flavored ones)
