[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 7747462, member: 58172"] Some suggest Pathfinder 2 be like 5e but with more customizability. They call that ‘Advanced D&D’. I hope Pathfinder 2 makes it easy for players to customize character classes and ancestries, and backgrounds and so on. Also make it easy for DMs to customize the setting flavor for homebrew settings of various genres. I hope the Golarion setting doesnt get in the way of the rules, by baking in Golarion flavor. I want to use the rules for completely different settings. If PF2 publishes its core rulebook by explicitly calling it the ‘Guide to Golarion’ with all of its flavor text, but then makes the *setting neutral* core rules accessible online and in a separate SRD document, that would be ok for me. I could use the rules for my setting, while other people would use the Golarion setting that adapts the rules for it. The cleric class needs to be setting neutral − so nonpolytheistic options are a normal option that a character can choose. • abstract concept − like love, detachment (buddhism), ethics or alignment (paladin) • cosmic force − like light (consciousness, energy, positivity), elements (daoism, Darksun) • animism (every feature of nature has a psionic psychic presence, druid) And so on. Really, the Golorion setting itself should have examples of sacred communities with these kinds of impersonal concepts of the sacred. So it should be normal for a cleric to have such options.
