Each ‘group’ is already throwing the numbers off of PF’s assumed base line, so trust is a given. But the math behind the curtain curtain assumes not only that you’re sticking to WBL, but that you’re getting specific items to boot.<br/><br/>This is honestly a pretty notable flaw in 3.5/PF, and PF even released the Automatic Bonus Progression optional rules to try and address it. It doesn’t really work perfectly, the math on weapons and armor are off and the suggested half-WBL means you don’t make any headway towards interesting things, but it’s an attempt.<br/><br/>5e, PF2e, and all the other not-D&D systems approach the problem in different ways, and it’s always something interesting to look at.<br/><br/><br/><br/>I’m just hoping Wrath isn’t killed :( I think Harriet could take her quite well
