You're not wrong. Pathfinder's creators were involved with the creation of D&D 3.5. They split off and made their own version of the system, under the name Pathfinder. It's stood apart from D&D, as a rival and biggest competitor ever since. There's more to the story, but I can't recall it all off the top of my head.
Oh, that makes sense then. From the time period, it seems like it came out in response to 4e. Probably sparked by the drastic change in style? I know there was a big backlash to it, even though I honestly kinda liked the game. More games is never really a bad thing, though.
That’s cool. I never got to play 3.5e all THAT much but the one time I did I kinda found it a bit cumbersome. It was forever ago, so I don’t remember the specifics, but I definitely remember having trouble making the character. This was like, right out of high school for me, though, so I could’ve just been bad.
Less restriction is always a good thing, I think. Giving players more to work with.
