But D&D uses Chebyshev distance, not Euclidean. No need for Pythagoras. And Pathfinder alternates between Chebyshev and Manhattan to approximate Euclidean.
Playing combat on a grid is actually presented as an optional rule and not the default for 5E, despite its popularity
So are feats, and point buy.
And multiclassing.
Of those that has been the least common at my tables.
The lack of dnd-style multiclassing in Pathfinder was something I struggled with at first, but honestly now (especially with the "free archetype" optional rule) it's one of my favourite underrated things about having switched. It's not as flashy as the 4 degrees of success or three action system, but it's a really great system.
