[QUOTE="Ragmon, post: 7416801, member: 99604"] Are there details out on PF2's system? If yes please link it. Yea I get that, but what I was saying is that they should have just improved the 3.5 formula, but for reals this time (PF tried but it was really just D&D 3.75). I guess they did, a lot of people love it. Is it better? I personally think its a rigid system, with very little character customization, specially post creation. But hey thats just me. If it appeals to new players and people who were scared of 3.5 "complicated" system, I'm all for it. The background section is a joke. The rules are (try to make it fit your character): *Choose 2 Skills to gain proficiency in. *Choose 2 languages, 2 tools or 1 of each to be proficient in. *Make up feature that doesn't effect the game mechanically but help the character out in situations that are not all that important. This would fit in as a side note. Then just give a huge list of example on 1 or 2 pages. Instead of just wasting pages on stuff that people would come up with, them self. ALSO the Background section should be before Classes. Why? Cause now you have to flip back and forth between what class skills you get and what skill the backgrounds grant you (overlapping skill selection is what i'm getting at). Eh, w/e. I'm not playing 5e any way....back to Shadowrun. :) Just choose some background skills then move onto the class skills [/QUOTE]
