[QUOTE="Thomas Shey, post: 8918103, member: 7026617"] One of the things about PF2e is that it is, for the D&D sphere, shockingly well-balanced. This doesn't mean there aren't a few problem children here and there, but you can play for quite some time without running into them. One of the reasons for this is that there's been great care taken with class, archetype and ancestry feats. But the latter is the rub here. When I do a fantasy setting from the ground up, its quite likely to want to do a number of either original or heavily modified ancestries and archetypes. And I have remarkable little faith in my ability to consistently get them balanced properly against each other and the extent material. This is a fundamental problem with games in the D&D-sphere to me: everything is, at the end of the day, ad-hoc. That's true of feats, spells, magic items and pretty much almost everything above the most basic level. Edit: Keneda's post above, though having problems in different areas, illustrates the [I]kind[/I] of problems I'm talking about. [/QUOTE]
