Heretic of The Seventh Circle
While 4e was perfect for my casual style of DMing (I’ve had to learn to do prep beyond story and some tables for quick encounter building in 5e, bc I just can’t wing it like I did in 4e), I agree overall.Let's see, I would like something in between PF1e and 5e but I'm not entirely sure I would even leave 5e at this time or the near future. I'd really like 5e compatible APs and setting book honestly.
My relationship with PF1e was player only. My casual style of DMing doesnt mesh well with PF/3.5 or 4e.
I’d be interested in PF2 if it had all the customization of options and abilities of PF1 or 4e, with the simple math of 5e, and straightforward monster and encounter building systems and guidelines.
Give me a 60 item weapon list, 30 item armor list, 5 types of shields, 20 classes, even more Archetypes that fit into the system more like 4e Themes/Paragon Paths (with some that simply further specialize your class or create a pseudo-multiclass, while others stand alone thematically as a narrative “third pillar” of chargen), and all the feats, spells, rituals, maneuvers, proficiencies, alchemical and tinkering options, etc a person could want.
Just don’t waste my time and energy with fiddly math widgets that increase my success rate by a negligible percentage while climbing a pointless math treadmill.
