[QUOTE="transmission89, post: 8231863, member: 6688441"] I don’t need to be. The fact that many are happy with Paizo’s choices is it’s own defence (not that it needs defending). This is supported by evidence of reviews, people posting here, on paizo’s site and indeed on Reddit. I have seen many Reddit posts on people having declares they are switching from 5e, loving various aspects of it and discussing it. Does this suggest a mass migration from PF1 or 5E? No. What it shows is that Paizo has found a niche in that spectrum for those that enjoyed 5e or pf1 but wanted a step up (or step down for pf1) in a degree of crunchiness and customisation. For myself, I’m really happy with the choices taken. The three action system, the flexibility of character creation (such as separation of ancestry and heritage), the siloing of feats so that you pick from various pools that act as customisable levers from your character. They contribute to a more individual build and give various options a chance to shine that they would t get in one complex, monolithic list. The fact that opportunity attacks aren’t automatically given. That monsters have various actions that give them personality, rarity tags on feats, gear and spells etc. I’d definitely agree that the CRB could’ve used another editing pass. But I’d never claim a system is perfect [/QUOTE]
