[QUOTE="Green Onceler, post: 7638829, member: 6991984"] Do the rules really encourage that style of play? Or, perhaps, is that just a style of play many people enjoy? I have frequently seen Pathfinder criticised for its many "trap options" that were supposedly underpowered. If Paizo were all about pushing the perfect build on the bleeding edge of optimisation, why would they publish so many "traps"? Personally, I prefer flavour over optimisation. And Pathfinder allows me a far greater palette of flavours than 5e. Which brings me to one of my primary concerns with the new edition, the flavour or aesthetic. A lot of the new art has left me cold. Gimmicky "comical" goblins pushed more to the fore. A lot of Paizo's original flavour also didn't appeal me, but it seems the new game is veering further in directions I do not appreciate aesthetically. I shall approach with caution. [/QUOTE]
