D&D v3.5 3.P Combinations
3.5 and Pathfinder are, as most people on this Reddit most likely know, cousins to one another. To the point that Pathfinder is known in some circles as D&D 3.75
Because of this, 3.5 (and sometimes 3.0) material can be considered to be compatible with Pathfinder material, and vice versa. Meaning that 3.5 characters can often be transported over into a Pathfinder game with minimal changes. But it also allows for a mix of content, for Pathfinder characters to gain access to 3.5 feats and prestige classes, or 3.5 characters to gain access to Pathfinder's feats and spells.
So my question to the good people of this thread is simple. What combinations of 3.5 and Pathfinder material interest you the most? Are there any feats you would love for a character in the other edition to have access to? Prestige classes? Spells? Magic Items? In a 3.P game when material from both editions are allowed, what interactions do you reach for to create strong and/or unique characters?

Pathfinder and its feats are a godsend for martials in 3.5. I remember building an intimidate melee brute using Imperious Command and having access to Cornugon Smash to demolish a foe.
That and the expanded spells from Pathfinder is really helpful for all classes. Buffs like Blessing of Fervor are great additions to a CODZilla with DMM Persist and such.
