[QUOTE="Arakasius, post: 7738605, member: 6944960"] Ancalgon has a good point about the armor. The scaling can work with the current formulas adding level of you assume armor gives no actual bonus to AC. Once you do that the current math breaks down and it becomes very hard to actually hit something, especially on second and third attacks. So there must be some baked in bonus to the system to support the attack bonus or some assumption we’re making about level based AC wrong. As for skills it’s painful to read the Paizo boards and people being bad at math. They don’t understand that the new proficiency still gives specialists an overwhelming advantage. But they want a game where the specialist auto succeeds and untrained auto fails, even though at very low levels in PF1 it didn’t work that way. (The level 1-2 fighter can actually roll a knowledge check and pass) A big key I feel for Paizo making this thing successful is figuring out who to ignore of that very vocal group on the forums.
