    D&D General D&D's Utter Dominance Is Good or Bad Because...

    I think there’s something to be said that most average players would be perfectly fine with the power level and HP of D&D to continue to climb upwards. Given the opportunity, players will optimize the fun out of a game. Therefore it’s designers’ responsibility to protect players from themselves...

The vegetables are tough, chewy, and not always the most enjoyable when...

    Pathfinder 2E Essential PF2ER Elements

    For me, the wide array of interesting monster abilities were essential to my enjoyment, rather than just attacking multiple times. Have you taken a look at the 3rd party creation Pathwarden? It might give you some ideas.
