The reason why I love the 10 point difference rule is that it makes every buff on your allies and every debuff on your enemies feel super impactful. A bard in DnD giving a +1 to hit feels very meh, but a bard in pf2e doing the same thing gets to be like “I did that! I’m helping!” when an ally crits on an 18 instead of a 19 due to that +1.
Plus the bard is able to continually give that bonus in PF2E and it just works. I can’t tell you how many times I gave out inspiration dice in 5e only for the player to either forget it or bank it like it was wheels of cheese in Skyrim, only to be wasted with the end of yhe encounter.
5e bards suck. PF2E bards are awesome, and easily the one of most useful choices for a party of 5+ players
