[QUOTE="Garthanos, post: 7798899, member: 82504"] 5e was shooting for lack of precision natural language... they got it. What a goal. I might like 5e better wrt the movement... but having things use multiple actions is sweet. I like consistent resources but would prefer it to be broader so that heroic exertion - applies to martial things not just obviously caster only things. (perhaps focus points gained by martial classes). I mean martial artists meditate for reasons. Yeah 5e is way too vague for me... if you arent a spell caster. AND it seems downright proud of using different mechanics for things which arguable accomplish the same things just for flavor. If they can pull of bigger moves using that action economy that is one thing however classically this has meant lack of power (if you are unable to make more extremes of effort you are stuck with median results almost always) and. Basically I think lack of being able to shoot for the gold in a reliable way ie only able to pull of extremes as a fluke of die roll a 5e problem even more due to very very poor skill advancement that nobody really wants to try "when it is most important to make it" encourages boring a lot. 5e seems swimming in bags of hit points if you do not fix it yourself. I am finding more intriguing aspects in PF 2 in spite of the elements 5e inherited from 4e I have managed to find a ver 1.6 playtest I think it was to read. [/QUOTE]
