[QUOTE="Jimmy Dick, post: 7792361, member: 6994416"] It really comes down to your style of play. If you choose to play a stat block instead of an actual character, then it's just all about numbers for you. That's fine. That's your style of play. I don't play that way. It's just not my cup of tea. For those of us who play characters or those of us who roleplay characters with personalities, the new game system is very deep and richly rewarding. Our choices have consequences. For us it is not about how much damage we pump out. It is about the team building process, the thrill of using our combined resources to overcome challenges, and the camaraderie we experience with one another in that process. PF2 combat offers a lot of choices. I think that is ultimately the bestselling point about this game.
