PDF might not be the best format, but it can do a lot if people put actually some efforts into making PDFs and not just used the book printing version... Here many things which sre possible in PDFs: So the horrible format is the books as default, which makes the digital formats so bad.

D&D 4e was available as pdf to buy in the beginning. It was removed in 2009 because some pirated copies were coming up on the interenet. Funny thing is that those pdf copies were from printing (as posted above by KnightsVisionCreative) not even from the sold pdfs. In 2015 the 4e (and older...

"Research confirms that finding or making spelling errors is not a direct measure of high or low intelligence, as no significant correlation exists between spelling ability and overall cognitive capacity. Spelling is largely a function of memory and pattern recognition, not intellectual...

Small Update: The MM3 on a Business Card had a Typo, the HP per level was wrong, it is now corrected!

Thank you for the answer, it has a lot of good things in there, but there are some things which I do not understand / where you may have misunderstood me 1. When I say "there are people who want to play Dark Pact", then I would assume they play it because they like the game mechanic, so they...

Darkwalker is only for dark pact, but you list feats which need other pacts, so this all assumes one has the twofold pact? Also it would be nice to see a (non cheese) darkwalker build, thats more useful than just telling people its bad, because people might still want to play it, so one could...

I do not know Awe games but for the PbtA games I did read (which I all found bad/a waste of time except masks and ironsworn) this is not true. In PbtA games, at least like many GMs use them, its OSR level bad. You are right that they get specific GM turns and actions etc, but there is the...

I think its just a "simplification" in some form, to keep it simple there is no rule for action conversion and everything costs exactly what is written. 4th edition allowed full action conversion. Standard Action -> Movement Action -> Minor Action (Bonus) and this was never a problem. Of...

I have a high intellect and a good understanding of gamedesign, so its often easy to see from other classes features etc. what is intended becaue normally its comparable.

RAW for me makes just no sense. RAI is what I would always play. Abusing mistakes in rule writing especially when its clear what is intended just makes the game worse.

Since Tashas you can pick stat combo freely, so that is hardly an issue.

There are tons of games only created by GMs and they work 13th age as one recent example. Saying players cant design a game, is really just elitism. Boardgames are way better in gamedesign than RPGs overall and they are designed by players. And no a GM who also plays is not a player, they still...

Well slow and quickened effects are hugely affected by the multiattack malus in PF2 though. Losing 1 action is not really bad if you can still do 2 attacks, like it does almost nothing. Even losing 2 actionsis not as bad as it sounds since the first attack has like 60% of the damage of a target...

I am pretty sure that the convolutedness of the classes is wanted / by design. (Rulebook organization most likely not, this happens also in games which want to be streamlined (Draw Steel, Gloomhaven RPG) and other games (goblin slayer)). Paizo does want PF2 classes to look complex, but do...

Humans as the typical flexible race since that is good to have and it is typical D&D No subraces. Only one flexible Human (like in 4e) But Humans can crossbread with everyone somehow. No other race can (or maybe they can and just dont ;)) Its part of their adaptability. Half -X can only have...

Have you seen that for the fighter feats (the main class festures you get at level 1 and every even level) there is a seperate subpage? Fighter Feats - Archives of Nethys: Pathfinder 2nd Edition Database The main page only shows the "fixed" class features without the choices.

Well it does LACK what makes other games better in VTT. Like being really complicated and profitting from automation like Pathfinder 2, which most people play in VTT because of this. Edit: Also doesnt it have physical cards? Having tactile elements (in addition to eice) is a plus for physical...

Yes having lots of options etc. definitly adds complexity. Here some comparison: Conditions PF1: 35 Conditions – d20PFSRD PF2: 42 Conditions - Archives of Nethys: Pathfinder 2nd Edition Database Weapons PF1: Around 80 without ammunition: Weapons – d20PFSRD around 18 traits PF2: 323...
