There’s some really interesting changes coming for 2e! Bards have full martial proficiency, clerics can f finally get heavy armor from within their class, wizard schools of magic are gone… Then of course the big named news, like the replacement of dragons with the magic traditions (arcane/nature/religion/occult), and the completed removal of alignment.
Are other people as excited as I am?
At the moment, I think I’m most excited for getting rid of alignments. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a chance to play, but it’s nice that I’ll have some changes to look into once I do!
As someone trying to get into PF2 right now this is cool, because the changes seem nice. But also terrible, because now i will probably delay our game for a while longer. Good thing the current 5e campaign is still going strong.
Although it had to be done due to the new ORC license, the removal of the Drow is a big bummer. That and the removal of the alignment system.
Really? I’m surprised to hear that take. I’ve only been excited for the removal of alignment! Why do you think apartment should stay?
Call me a boomer, but I like the alignment system. It pulls of its purpose pretty well: its used to summarize a creatures general actions, behavior, and personality. Plus I think the Golarion setting was able to integrate it into the setting in an interesting way with their planes/outsiders set up.
The planes are sticking around, actually. Just character alignment is going away. :)
