I'm wondering how viable backporting/modifying some 5th edition rules into Pathfinder would be for balance.
I was thinking replace BaB and skill ranks entirely; characters get Proficiency equal to half their HD. This is split between full, half and quarter to match the old BaB progression, with full BaB classes getting normal iteratives. For skills they would pick X class skills (old Int+ skill per level) at level 1 and get their proficiency bonus on those skills.
I was also thinking anything that would apply less than a +4 bonus/-4 penalty to anything outside of ability scores would apply 5th edition's advantage/disadvantage system (changed to work on a 1:1 ratio).
Everything else would be the same. Thoughts?
