[QUOTE="Puggins, post: 8048160, member: 12386"] That's sorta a case of apples to oranges, honestly. 5e is definitely a lean, mean RPG machine of a game that doesn't have you making major character decisions at every level. More options would certainly be welcomed by the community (look at the response to Xanathar's), but it doesn't seem like there are major holes left to be filled. PF2, on the other hand, is directly modeled after PF1e, which sets entirely different expectations. I own every pf2 book so far, I have subscriptions to both the rule book and lost omens line, and I'm of the opinion that we're barely past the start of pf2 support. The core rule book introduced all sorts of neat concepts (non-ancestry-centered heritages, archetypes, variable action spells) that are only now starting to bear fruit with the APG, and there are still a TON of really popular classes from PF1 that are awaiting release. I don't want this to read like bashing PF2- I'm enjoying the game immensely after a really tepid start- I'm just saying that the "body" of PF2 has so many niches to fill that it demands a lot more support than 5e does.
