I spend thousands of $ every year on D&D books and miniatures. If this happens, I will never buy anything that benefits WOTC or Hasbro in any way ever again.

This seems like a good business move from Paizo. In addition to getting some of the 5E mega-pie, it potentially increases awareness of other options available in Pathfinder 2E.

Yeah, PF2 players are mostly on Foundry now and they haven't published these kinds of stats by game system (that I am aware of).

I would love something that actually fulfills the original "modular elements of complexity" and "dials" concept of 5e before the design team mostly abandoned those ideas in exchange for simplicity. I want a PC that can feel like a 4e martial in play, for example. I want more meaningful character...

I tried this out this morning and it was surprisingly fun and engaging. I would definitely purchase more adventures in this format. Well done, Paizo!

1. Time will tell for sure, but Paizo consciously tried to eliminate the huge power disparities between PF1 martials and spellcasters with PF2. Many who play spellcasters have been complaining they have been "nerfed" in PF2 (which is a good thing in my view). Martials seem much stronger. I doubt...

Good question. I don't see them in the SRD either. Looks like an error. Messaged the site owner to ask. Received the following response from someone on Reddit: Most of the monsters aren't completed yet. If you look in the monster index tables, you'll see that most monsters have nothing listed...

dave2008, it sounds like PF2 may not be for you, which is fine. I also like and play 5e but feel that PF2 brings a lot to the table for those who want a little more complexity, depth, and customization (similar to Morrus). You may want to check out the rules for free at http://2e.aonprd.com/ to...

My feeling on complexity level is that PF2 is much less complex/fiddly than PF1 and a bit more complex/fiddly than 5e. However, for that modest increase in complexity over 5e, it offers a lot of additional depth and customization. For some, that trade off will be worth it, for others it won't be.

1. Would you say this is true even taking into consideration more recent releases for 5e? Yes. Monsters just have a lot of cool and flavorful actions that make them interesting and more than just the "bag of HP" that many 5e monsters still are. For example, some skeletons can take off and throw...

PF2 is definitely more "fiddly" than 5e (e.g. lots of small bonuses, four degrees of success, weapons and armor have individual traits, etc.). However, it also has significantly more depth and tactical options than 5e. I think it will run more slowly at first as you get used to the key words...

Yes, we are going to give PF2 a try. 5e is fun but, in some ways, overly simple. We will likely end up playing both systems.

...on Reddit. Link The CRB Table of Contents is here. Update: Apparently, Erik Mona from Paizo asked the guy to please stop posting spoilers.

I believe Paizo is trying to create something similar to 5e, in terms of ease of learning and running it, but which also... 1. doesn't have bounded accuracy (becomes more "fantasy supers" at higher levels) 2. is directly tied into their Lost Omens/Golarian setting (which helps sell APs, their...

I was part of the original T5 Kickstarter and felt really burned by the final product. It was an overly complex, nearly unplayable mess. Not going to waste another $100 on a revision, that's for sure.

Available on DM's Guild: More Dynamic and Engaging Combat for D&D 5E DON'T LET YOUR PLAYERS SIT AROUND BORED WAITING FOR THEIR NEXT TURN! Great DMs are always looking for ways to keep each one of their players involved in the action. Combat is at its finest when it feels fast, dynamic, and...

Not sure I want to track damage to shields (dents) in detail. That seems *more* fiddly than even Pathfinder 1. Isn't this supposed to be an easier, faster, and streamlined version of the game? If so, I'm not seeing it.

This is the first blog post that made me feel like PF2 is not for me. I'm happy for those who seem to be getting what they wanted (high-level martials just as ridiculous as high-level spellcasters) but, for our table, the legendary skills seem like they would turn the game into a cartoon...

Not a fan of keeping the huge modifiers.

Disappointed by all the filler. Wish they included weapon feats instead. Those were cool. A bunch of names I can Google is not.
