Pathfinder is just reskinned DnD. Heroic fantasy where you roll a d20 and add a modifier.

No, that's a d20 system heroic fantasy system. D20s arent even a permanent part of DnD, just its current iteration. If you wanted to be reductionist, you could just say that these all TTRPGs are just board games with smaller boards and larger rulebooks, and that those are just gambling games because they use dice. Pathfinder is similar, 1e was an extension of 3.5e, but at this point I'd consider them well past a reskin.
