What's pathfinder 2e like?

[Firechanter]

I have to say, I'm very sad that PF2 changed the skill system because PF1 had my favourite skill system out of any D&D/PF game I've played.

The PF skill system does have it perks, yes. It's easy to get a reasonable skill bonus for skills that don't need that much attention. The consolidation is a decent effort. I also like that Skill Focus scales (rather abruptly however), and I like that Int items offer extra maxed-out skills. And that there are ways (mostly through traits) to expand your class skill list.

Of course it's not perfect. The consolidation is sometimes weird. Perception is the single most important skill in the game, bar none. And why haven't Climb, Jump and Swim been rolled into Athletics? Why is Jump part of Acrobatics? -- ofc everything can be houseruled, but that doesn't mean it's not wonky in the first place.
