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?

    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.

            Yeah I know I just liked how they filled out the alignments with more cool outsiders. Love daemons, im actually planning on using them for an upcoming campaign. How the alignments impact the plane system in Golarion reminds me a lot of Planechase.

      Yeah Drow are so iconic and probably one of my most favorite evil fantasy societies of all time. Well there’s nothing stopping our GM from keeping them as homebrew.
