It's like this. Solasta spells out what each character can do. Noobs to 5e can pick up the game and do pretty well each round of combat because they can see their action options, spell options, etc. All laid out for them with the UI.

BG3 and Pathfinder, not so much. You have to really play around to figure out what you can do and such. What things on your hotbar are spells vs. abilities.

I didn't even know, for example, that Arcane Recovery was a hotbar special ability because you are only supposed to use it during rest. I couldn't figure out how to use it and thought they forgot it. Had to post it in the forum to learn it was on the hotbar as an ability.
