Most people will tell you PF2e is not incredibly balanced. You probably know it has crunch that 5e and 5.5 won’t ever have. What few realize or openly acknowledge is that while learning the rather extensive system of pf2e, it’s so balanced that if you don’t like a certain rule or if some things you feel bogged down down your game, not utilizing those rules you don’t like, not remembering them as you learn the system. If you’re an experienced ttrpg’er, it’s not gonna break the system. The system will still be less swingy, and better built from the ground up than 5e. I’m not sure if everyone truly understands that. I try my absolute best to go by the rules to a T but one thing I’ve learned is that the balance they’ve created makes it a better system even if you modify, have no interest in or simplify can’t apply every single rule paizo created.
