At that point why play pathfinder at all, amirite? :P<br/><br/>More seriously though, I guess you could ask the DM if he'll let you ignore the changes, or if you should maintain updated stats compared to what the class will probably look like in the end.<br/><br/>I mean, 1/2 your level to attack or AC and sneak attack without needing to catch people flatfooted or flank them isn't exactly a nerf.
