20 ways that Pathfinder 2e is simpler than D&D (The Rules Lawyer)

And, while PF2 is more complex, there are 20 ways it's simpler than D&D. Here's my list! 0:00 Intro 1:29 Critical hits 2:12 Fall damage 2:59 Number of attacks 5:20 Additional dice 6:33 Stacking effects 8:46 Opposed rolls 10:09 Being vigilant 12:08 Economy 14:14 Encumbrance 15:27 Exhaustion 16:50 Resource tracking 18:31 Encounter building 21:16 Multiclassing 23:56 Surprise 26:59 Invisibility 32:11 Traits 34:53 Advantage/disadvantage 42:37 Action economy 48:28 Spellcasting 51:10 Concentration 52:50 One more thing! 53:51 Closing statement Here's a post where the top comment shows that it's possible to get above +100 on an attack in D&D 5e.
