  • To quote the video this post is about, I often see this happen:

    “wow, these rules are so robust!” followed by, “wow… these rules are so… robust.”

    Pathfinder is neat, I play in three 2e campaigns. I prefer 5e, and that’s okay. Personally, I think the rules get in the way of the fun for pf2e. I still have fun, I would just have more fun in a less rule-heavy game.

    I shy away from saying 5e is better, because I know many people who prefer pf2e, just like I and many others prefer 5e, or savage worlds, or shadow dark. Different games will attract different players, and sometimes those players who like different things play together. When this happens, compromise happens in order to play the same game. The hobby is better served by us looking for ways to compromise, rather than divide.



  • As if most of the feats in pf2e aren’t? I enjoy pathfinder for what it is, and there definitely some things I like more than 5e. Pathfinder has more feats, and has more good feats, but also more underwhelming feats in my opinion. How many characters take abberation kinship?

    The difference is that pf2e expexts you to have several feats by the time you’re even level 4, while 5e expects you to (optionally) have 1.
