Pathfinder is really complex to such a degree it's almost too much! The key, in my opinion, is to simplify some of the combat rules and enjoy the tactical aspect!
It's quite an accomplishment in terms of balance. I've suggested it before however, the game's themes are so "woke" they are off putting to many people who don't like those types of elements in their TTRPG gaming. However, these are options. You can play Pathfinder just as old school as AD&D and have a ton of fun, especially if you drop some of the stealth rules.
@@Classic_DM yes I take a pass on their setting and fluff more and more - I prefer my FRGP to be just that, not current year but with wands and pointy sticks. It's why I won't be buying the books - to Paizo's credit, they make everything free online. But whenever I can I don't financially support firms that openly despize everyone who doesn't share the sinoptic perspective ("The Narrative"); a stance I'd have even if I agreed with aspects of The Message. I don't always get to make that call (not financially supporting such, since it is all-pervasive) but with gaming, it's a luxury good I don't have to have, and if the rules weren't online, we'll I'd just use my old stuff. I'm copacetic. The books could cost a dollar; I still wouldn't buy them (they are quality manufacture - credit where credit is due - just as the rules are well-thought-through).
@@Porphyrogenitus1 Well said! I really don't understand why they have evolved they way they did. The core mechanics are solid, but everything else becomes too silly which kills the sense of fear abd adventure. The game becomes a parade of "be different" as opposed to be brave.

It's an interesting system in how it fits all together.
