[QUOTE="Phion, post: 7820820, member: 6917357"] Background: Been a GM/player for d&D 4E, 5E and 4 sessions of playing pathfinder 2e as war priest cleric. Some quick reflections on my part. Just things that spring to mind The Action economy is great, I like having the option to make multiple attacks without it being tied to features. It really helps to make martial classes appealing. I feel like 2e has the best incarnation of the fighter class and they seem relevant throughout and in fact possibly the strongest class at lower levels. The fighter in our group is having a great time and consistently leaving the group in awe (in a good way, no one feels left behind but the fighter has in fact established himself as our fighter. 5e I always felt I may as well just go a barbarian or paladin if I wanted a tanky heavy hitting martial class). A lot of players in our group argue there is more choice in pathfinder 2e compared to d&d 5e; I strongly disagree with this from a RP perspective. I find 2e gives the illusion of lots of choice when in reality due to saturation of weapons and features with stats, some blatantly shine more. An example of this is the weapons, I am more likely to go with a pick than any other weapon as a fighter due to the new crit system and the extra damage it will likely deal, whereas 5e with the lack of stats tied to weapons I am more likely to go with what feels right with a character concept without worrying about how to stay relevant.
