[QUOTE="dave2008, post: 8000973, member: 83242"] I apologize because I feel like I am giving a negative impression that I don't think is justified. I have competing feelings about PF2 on paper, and I think I need to play to see if any of that really matters. I look at from a Designer, a DM, and a player perspective. On paper there a things in all three of those categories that look awesome and some that worry me, But that is true of most games. Personally, I tend to find the system doesn't matter as much as me, and I would think that would be the case for PF2 too. I think your definition of effective is different than mine (and a lot of other posters in these forums). But it does sound like you have an optimizer's perspective, which neither I nor my group is. It is not just my 5e game, that includes my 1e and 4e games too. My players and I don't play D&D to optimize. We don't chase the best spell, equipment, feat, sub-class, race, strategy or synergy. We pick a character we want to play and play. It is that simple. If I can do that in PF2e, I', sure I'll be fine. Just don't expect me to contribute much in combat because I am terrible at tactics and synergy! [/QUOTE]
