    I find Pathfinder 2e (and D&D 3e before it) way clunkier. Maintaining a level-appropriate power level requires stacking buffs like the Overlord meme, and if you decline to do so, you’re just crippling your character. It’s bad enough that auto-buffing mods are considered mandatory for the Pathfinder CRPGs.

      I don’t like the Christmas tree effect either, where your character is less important than your stack of magic doodads and buffs.

      The pathfinder crpgs are 1e. I’m not sure how much changed in 2e, but I’m told it’s much better.

      Myself, I’m playing Fate now.
