Heh, I feel that. If you are ~ fluent in German, I can recommend Splittermond. Classless, Levelless (there are 4 levels which only serve to limit the maximum you can achieve in each particular skill as well as roughly track progression/power levels) and with a well balanced and designed magic system - No 5E bullshit of "can this spell do that". It also beautifully avoids the problem where occupying any portion of a niche restricts you to only that niche via attributes. Skills each have two attributes, so even if one is a dumpstat you can still use the skill. Weapons each have their own two attributes, making strength-less combat characters easy to build (aka some swords take agility and intuition, a mace may use constitution and strength). Magic is divided into 19 schools with overlapping spells and each school uses two attributes as well (Although all schools share the same first attribute) - and some schools straight up use CON or STR, so fighter mages are green to go. Disadvantage: Only in German.

Goodness, no! I meant design philosophy. If I had political issues with it I would say so ...

Sheesh, I was trying to be vague so I wouldn't have to justify my opinion :D I dislike spell slots and level based progression. I also think d20-based is the most boring dice-system, aside maybe from the very basic d100 "roll below your skill" (which is kind-of the same thing, but GMs keep forgetting to adjust the difficulty of the role). That is very much subjective and I understand that most people don't mind. I appreciate the action economy, the very (VERY) well written rules - I am playing Shadowrun right now, and the editing and writing is atrocious - and I'd pick it over D&D any day.

I haven't played D&D 4, but Pathfinder 2e (and its remaster) is a great system, aside from some parts of the philosophy I disagree on which is a minor thing. It is really well written, coherent, streamlined and edited.

Of a second I read "redistribution" there and was very surprised.

Understandable. Have fun with whatever it is you're doing instead!

I disagree regarding the reason for the downvotes. I believe it to be the statement, that people only play for memes and not because it's fun. I find it to be fun and the people I play with feel similar. So I assume those 25(?) people felt the same and didn't like the commenter assuming their motivation to be memes. I know I don't, but I didn't downvote.

Let's agree to disagree. I find the game to be plenty of fun, but you do you.

Insbesondere wundert mich, was der Herr jetzt für eine Antwort will. Soll der sagen "Ich bin zwar in Bochum geboren, aber manche Menschen glauben, ich wurde in [Hier Hauptstadt einfügen] geboren.". Ehrlich, was für eine dumme Frage.

I ... uhh ... (what did they say?) Yeah, quitting Starbucks sounds like a good idea!

Against Bugs? Never. But for Bots, it can really shine. The Blast resistance (esp. for Rockets) combined with decreased recoil is nice. Being able to take more stray fire also helps. Berserkers can be an issue, but good positioning helps a great deal. Just don't let them drop on top of you, retain good sightlines.

It appears some people did not like being called illiterate. But whether and how they disagree with OP? We'll never know.
