D&D 5e + Pathfinder

Welcome to the Pathfinder Next Wiki
This project first started as a decision between D&D 5e versus Pathfinder. After extensively comparing the two, there's things I like about both. I love Pathfinder's character options. So much, it's nucking futs, but Pathfinder is very rules heavy and can be very complicated for tabletop RPG newbs. However, I love how D&D 5e has streamlined combat so it's faster, and it's simpler compared to Pathfinder. Perhaps, a little too simple.

I tried looking searching all over the webernets for a project someone is working on or completed that combined the mechanics and rules of D&D 5e along with the detailed player options of Pathfinder, and I haven't been able to find such a thing, and I looked everywhere. In fact, if you Google "D&D 5e vs Pathfinder", there's an online war between the two factions, people are getting insulted, butt hurt, etc. So, that's how this project started.

What is Pathfinder Next?
Pathfinder Next is actually taking the heart and soul of D&D 5e SRD (Systems Reference Document) rules, and simply adding more player options from Pathfinder SRD (Systems Reference Document) to that, without modifying the core mechanics of D&D 5e. Hopefully, what we get in the end is a streamlined tabletop RPG (role-play game) with a lot of tweaking potential for players with the perfect character in mind. It should add customization without breaking the game engine or the whole purpose of easy, fast, and simple.

System Reference Documents
To keep from getting sued by WotC (Wizards of the Coast) or Paizo Inc., I'm only using materials from the SRDs and perhaps some home-brew materials for this project. I also encourage anyone interested in this project to jump in and help!
