I'd bet there will be. Although I'm not sure if from the get go.
But then Mercy feats came with Ultimate Magic... so it's not like they were present from the get go.
Although wonder how such build will go with my houserules where every attack above raw constitution score is critical threat risking life and health of hitted person.
not really, I play relatively low with magic items both for PC and NPC, and I trat NPC bit harsher - if they get critical failure on Fortitude Save - they are dead...
for a PC - you'd have to get three 1 in row to insta-die.
And DC is growing per 1 for every 10 points over Con, so it's not that high.
But I prefered to have a risk element that would make players more cautious about fighting even... well low level threats.
Possible. But somehow still at level 8-9 mine PC's did not died so far.
Only few moments when some guys died were enemies touch-channeled by our Jergalite priest, including frost giant boss who died after getting 48 direct damage and failing critically. Quite fine action.
Then while our cleric is our healer, he's not so good in that, our paladin is fight not heal specialised, and our oracle do not heal at all.
I was playing with idea, of making wound separate and spells centered on separate wounds rather than overall abstract health.
But while spells would go easy with that... channels need some rethinking.
So was his best stat STR? With a 16 CHA opening you could get 16 STR, 18 if kidna ignored everything else, but it seems he has CON. Sounds like a good candidate for DIEHARD!
Don't see why this can't be replicated by just getting the correct arrays and picking every single LoH feat out there, which I hope there's lots in PF2. And, of course, ignoring shield.

I can't imagine Paizo throwing away Lay on Hands.
One thing I expect to see go (hope, even) is Divine Grace.
+Charisma to all saves is way, way too good in the new system. What we'll likely see is something else to represent the Paladin's irrepressible nature, which I'd be happy with.

Lay On Hands is now first level, making Paladins heal-tanks from the start.

I'm actually not sure this is necessarily entirely true. One thing they could do would be to have Paladins use Charisma instead of other Ability bonuses on all Saves. That'd be a serious boost without messing with the system math too much.

I had been thinking about this, admittedly! Would be a reasonable step down.

That actually would be a reasonable version of Divine Grace. It's still very good, but not outright broken like the old version would be under PF2's math.
You can't really expect every specific P1 build to be equally viable in P2. P1 has been out for years, if P2 matched it in options then what would they print later?
