In something like Critical Role I don't really see anything of what you state for combat. They do what their class rules say they can. Similarly for other streams I've seen. It's cool that you follow the rule of cool in your games but I'm not seeing a lot of evidence that this is actually...

Neither of those are supported by the rules in their game system, so you're saying that DMs for one style are more permissive? Perhaps. But PFS has to be a flat system, similarly adventures league would also not allow you to do that. But at any home game thats up for the DM to decide, whether...

I care about how the game plays out when the game gets going. And I was talking about fighter, not all classes. Races/subraces don't change how a fighter plays. Fighting styles similarly has no impact on how you play for most of them. Protection does, but archery/defense/dueling/great weapon...

Right, neither is a rule that makes sense. But having a game where you carry 20 magic items with all their tracking is dumb. I’m fairly sure most gamers want a more streamlined systems than that. But all rulings like this are going to break “realism” however they justify this. PF2 is trying...

Well mechanically in 5e other than the level three choice all fighters pretty much are the same. Sure you can RP them differently but once in combat they act the same. I don’t see how it decreases choices in comparison to 5e, since feats open up options that don’t exist in 5e. A base fighter in...

They like their per day items. They also wand wands to exist, so having “fewer” to fix PFS would mean 0 wands of CLW. I don’t think they want to cut out iconic items to achieve balance. Tons of flavorful items in PF are activatable usage. I don’t think cutting those out is a realistic design...

Yeah that's a pretty bold statement to make. Having the christmas tree effect and having to track it all seperately is a pretty big negative for PF1. Like sure I understand people want to have their cute trinkets, but I'd rather have a more streamlined game.

Well of course a big part of it is about building the character. That was pretty obvious both from PF1 and from the leveling blog last week. You're getting a feat (whether class, skill or general) every level. Why would you think before reading the fighter blog that building the character isn't...

I'm just glad that the battlefield in 2 won't be this annoying AoO snoozefest. I don't know how many times I've seen a player avoid taking on the bigger threat in the back because of how "scared" they were of the 2-3 AoOs they'd get going there. (and I include myself in this criticism) Generic...

Any more so than 5e only allowing 3 attuned items?

Curious why this blog would do that. All they released here was a few class feat options for the fighter and they all seem reasonable. I can understand being upset about resonance or proficiency, but this seems pretty tame.

They have 5 skill feats now, as well as ancestry stuff. Fighters in PF1 could bump non combat stuff, but since general feats could always go towards more combat options they were incentivized to just keep dumping options into them to become even better at fighting, neglecting their RP options. I...

Fighters are still going to be about martial power. I would guess some of their class feats will be non combat options, but I don’t expect them to be RP machines. Basically this blog just gave us some of the Fighter feats you can choose. As well as telling you about AoO and martial training...
