When we started the current PF2e game, after finishing our 7+ year 5e campaign, I told my players "You get three actions, think of them as move, attack, and prep or buff. And you really want to be using one each." That was over 2 years ago. And they're JUST now starting to realize how important that 3rd action is. The easy one is Intimidate/Demoralize, as they can instantly see that Frightened 1. If you have a Swashbuckler type, you might be able to pull off Deception/Feint. But it's REALLY HARD to break that stand-and-deliver slugging match that 5e encourages.Also, if you have a dedicated char-opt powergamer, be prepared for the whines. Because of the tight math, a lot of very useful options look severely underpowered to the 5e based-assumptions. (A prime example would be the number of spells/day available to casters.)Also, the Medicine skill/non-magical healing is possibly, even more effective than the magical healing. Encourage someone to take the skill.</blockquote>
