PF2 is obsessed with balance. 5E is much more relaxed in that regard. I don't agree with your examples, since the difference between taking (and building towards) Greatweapon Fighting and Linguist (two 5E feats) is likely 20, 30 or even more DPR. (I could still agree PF1 is a magnitude worse)PF2 in contrast is incredibly locked down. You take feats to determine how you get to spend your three actions, but all choices lead pretty much to the same place. I haven't yet played all the way up til level 20, but I could say the difference of all your feats up until level 10 or so probably only adds 20% on top of what you get with no feats at all.I'd say if there is one single thing about PF2 that Paizo really REALLY intended to plug, it is this. They went to extreme lengths, is how I'd phrase it.It wouldn't surprise me if the difference of one feat to the other was literally only 1 DPR, and that in a system where a high-level caster can nova a thousand damage in a round.So no. It's night and day. Paizo got that covered.</blockquote>
