I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but since I've yet to play a Pathfinder game allowing Monstrous Races, I have to ask...

How does the Pathfinder rules differ from DnD for Monstrous Races? Lets say that I want to play a Psuedodragon, which is a CR 1/Lvl Adjust +3, how would that work out? Would I have to take racial progression levels?

No. The Pathfinder rules for monstrous PCs (unless there's an errata out, but I tend to follow printed text in a book over some hasty patches anyways) is that you use CR to determine its effective character level. The example they give is a Minotaur, which is CR 4. So let's say a Minotaur Barbarian 1 wants to go adventuring? Then it'd join a party of level 5 characters. It would gain a level every time the normal PCs gain 3 levels for an amount of times equal to its total CR at the beginning cut in half and rounded down.

So the Minotaur Barbarian 1 (CR 5) would go through this process twice. It becomes a Barbarian 2 when the party gain their 8th level and then becomes Barbarian 3 when they're 11. After that point it levels normally.

Edit: Of course, in the case for this game, the leveling process doesn't occur for any monstrous characters until after the point a normal PC would have reached their CR in levels and then gains a further 3 levels.

Okay, I think I got it. I don't play many games that go with level-buy off or whatnot much, so I got confused. But just in case, I'm going to double-check myself with my understanding....

Lets say that I want to play as a Psuedodragon Dragon Shaman. A Psuedodragon has a CR of 1, so I would start with a CR of 2 (CR 1+ 1 level)? Then I would have to wait for the party to reach 4th, 7th level before taking a 2nd and 3rd level of Dragon Shaman?

Ahh... my bad, and thank you for clarifying.

Hmm... Not sure if I want to play Psuedodragon. Might go for the Dragonkin from Draconomicon (CR 3) so that I can be of more assistance both during and after battle.

Alrighty.  

[Archfiend Damio]

Yes reev is correct.
3.5 elves:
Standard elf is a High Elf, which typically are aloof and pompous.
A Wood Elf gains everything standard ones do and an additional +2 Str. and -2 Int. Which tend to be more crude and muscular.

I guess this point is moot because I am totally making a Sorcerer. ^_^  

[Archfiend Damio]

Sorry I have so may questions just wanted to be sure. When you say Flaws and Traits allowed you mean the ones from Unearthed Arcana correct?

And could I use spells from the Spell Compendium?

Yes and Yes.  

[Archfiend Damio]

So wait wait... Cantrips are usable at will... so if you take the spell Light you never really need a torch again?

Nope. But the Light does only last for so long.
