If anything, I feel like Pf2e is more streamlined than DnD5e overall. At the very least, everything is in just one book.
The way critical success/fail works is better, too. Rolling a nat 20 doesn't automatically make an unskilled character super good at something, and rolling a nat 1 doesn't make a super skilled character fumble it completely.
It's more streamlined (e.g. everything having tags) while still having more rules. Which is both good, IMO.
Although I decided not to run 2e because my players aren't good at rules. We're on Savage Worlds now.
Well there are no crits on checks in 5e, so a nat 20 +0 is no different from a nat 6 +14. And someone with a +14 can't fail a check with a DC of 15 or lower.
Having Degrees of Success built into the system in PF2 is really neat though. And seems like something DnD could easily incorporate if Wizards had any vision.
