[QUOTE="Aldarc, post: 7782290, member: 5142"] We have gone over this a dozen times, but if CapnZapp actually bothered reading the available resources provided/linked/discussed (or even listen),* then he wouldn't have far less to complain about, so he doesn't bother. I even sent him video links of Paizo talking about how monster/NPC creation would work in PF2. Has he watched any of them yet? Evidently not. But according to Paizo, it's even more improved (particularly the math) and streamlined than what is found in Starfinder. But yeah, monsters in 5e are simplified, but they are also mostly boring sacks of HP. For PF2, Paizo attempted to give each monster something cool they can do and explain how GMs can use monsters. (Thank you, Paizo, for learning positive lessons from 4e.) There are also no more bonus spells based upon caster stat level, which greatly contributed (alongside stacking buff spells) to quadratic wizards in 3.X/PF1. Also, from what I have seen so far, the martial characters seem to be the classes who are most benefiting from the new action economy. This gives martial characters more interesting tactical choices to make: "Do I raise my shield for AC or make another attack?" "Do I make another attack or do I move?" This also adds mobility to martial characters, which makes them less like static pawns on the battlefield. I said that nobody asked Paizo about it at PaizoCon in any videos of the Q&A panels that they uploaded. I fear that you are operating in your own echo chamber where you don't bother listening to anyone before you prattle away with your fear-mongering. If you like how 5e solves things from D&D 3.X, then play 5e. That seems like an easier solution than complaining that PF2 isn't going to be like 5E. [/QUOTE]
