[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 7738108, member: 6779196"] That they do. Frankly, I think a lot of the complaints that they’re “copying 5e” are simply misplaced worry that the things people like about PF1 are going to change. Lots of folks love the granularity of PF1’s skill rank system. When those people hear “unified proficiency system,” they worry that the granularity they love will be lost. 5e has a unified proficiency system, and it has almost no granularity at all - just a binary “proficient” or “untrained,” with a few classes granting double-proficiency and half-proficiency.. It represents the logical extreme of what people are afraid might happen if PF2 changes the Skill system they love, so they point to 5e as the example of their fear. They say “this is the opposite of what I want PF2 to look like!” And the more people use 5e as an example of the direction they fear PF2 headed in, the more plausible it sounds to a panicked mind that PF2 is going to look like 5e with a coat of Wayne Reynolds paint. “They said there were going to be three actions! 5e has three actions [SIZE=1]if you count moving as an action even though 5e doesn’t[/SIZE] ! See, they’re totally just ripping off 5e!” Anxiety and confirmation bias are a potent combination. [/QUOTE]
