After having played and run several 3.5 games over the past few years I'm going to be taking my first stab as a GM for Pathfinder and was wondering if anyone would share some of the big rule changes a GM should know? I understand the classes and races are different in some minor aspects and that the skill tree is much more condensed but what changes greatly affect roleplaying and combat mechanics?

Combat maneuvers are different. Some skill mechanics have changed beyond just condensing them. Some class features work differently. Spiked chains don't have reach. Some feats and spells work a little differently. There are a lot of subtle changes, but not much that's big.
