[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 8060985, member: 12731"] Thank you. (Doing multi quotes on the app is just not feasible so you'll get this in a chunky backass order) Ayup. Since Paizo is all about balance in PF2, you'll see no awesome magic items such as those offered by 3E or 5E. Your +1 sleep is exactly what you'll find in PF2, items that give a small boost to your existing abilities. The closest thing to an exception regards non-numerical abilities. Flight, for instance, can still be had, even though it's an awesome game changer. But any time you can put a number on it, you get no more than +3, and that only at the highest levels. Now you might think of striking runes and how you can get lots of extra weapon damage dice. Yes, compared to other items they come across as mind-blowingly powerful. The secret there, of course, is that they're accounted for by the game's monster math. In fact, check out the automatic bonus progression variant of the GMG (all rules are available online for free) and you'll realize that [B]NO[/B] magic item is meant to get you ahead of the curve; give you abilities no other character of your level can have.
