[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 7533751, member: 6716779"] 5E is about the only D&D where skills could be integrated into combat better. 4E for example still had that problem of the +5 trained/untrained thing along with +5 off skill focus. SWSE had that problem where Jedi could key combat stuff off use the force skill checks- potentially +13 or +15. At level 1. IDK where Pathfinder 2 ended up in the playtest but early on they had a lot of things from 4E in there, not so much things like powers but all the classes had a unified design but they kept things like spell tables. The layout and presentation was terrible though so it lacked the elegance of 4E/5E or even 3.0. But it woudln't be to hard to redo PF2 as 4.5 IMHO or use it as a chasis, but you can also use 4E to clone BECMI and add 4E stuff to OSR if you could be bothered to spend the time doing either one. You could convert the Warlord almost as is to OSR just adjusting its hit points and powers that targeted NADs into the OSR equivalent. It wouldn't matter how powerful it was to the other classes as long as the xp table reflected it. [/QUOTE]
