I am seeing a lot of posts that want to change some of the default assumptions of PF1 - things like easy access to magic, wand use and out of combat healing, the accumulation of multiple small bonuses, and so on - these all give the game a distinctive feel - one that I actually like.
I hope that PF2 has enough flexibility and the guidelines to handle a game that matches what I'm looking for and the things that someone looking for a different feeling game is seeking.
Will PF handle the transition from low to high magic? Heroic fantasy to grim and gritty?
Should it have that kind of flexibility?
Well, it looks like in the magic item realm at least they are making it very low magic.
It's not so much going from low magic to high magic or high magic to low magic as it is going from magic to superheroes. Skills are now essentially magic that functions in an anti-magic field, judging by all the excited bragging from the designers' hints.
I'd honestly take it better if these things they keep talking about were class features instead of uses for skills.
The problem is I'm seeing a lot of suggestions flying around that if adopted would suck a lot of fun out of the game for me.
Bloodrealms fear of what the new skills will do to the game is a perfect example - to me they sound awesome and fun, if anything I'm hoping the cool ones aren't all gated to too high a level.
I don't want to tell these other people they can't play the kind of games they want, but I also don't want to lose the things I enjoy.
