[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 8102793, member: 12731"] At low levels maybe. I would personally not be able to adjudicate a mid-level game in TotM given the prevalence of abilities where exact positioning is paramount. Simplifying flanking to "you gain +2 if you're two on one" is one thing, but there's a lot of abilities that depend on being in exactly the right square. And TotM would likely severely nerf the benefit of a high Speed - in Pathfinder 2, having Speed 35 often lets you reach just the right square in one Stride, where a Speed 25 character needs two Strides. The reality is that loads of feats and monster abilities would fall by the wayside. I have nothing against TotM. I would just choose a game better suited to it. There are indeed many systems where ToTM is default. Within the D&D sphere, however, I would be hard pressed to find an edition [I]worse[/I] suited to TotM than Pathfinder 2. Just about the only edition I can think of needs the battle map more would be 4E. [/QUOTE]
