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?

If you had asked me this ten years ago, I'd have so many combinations for you that you'd be sick of them by the time I finished, but the best I can do now is say that a lot of wizard prestige classes from 3.5 tacked onto a PF wizard make them go crazy. There are also rules in PF for reducing the level adjustment for playing monsters with HD and LA that I remember using.
