A place for people to discuss Pathfinder 2e

Rules:
1. Be Kind and Respectful

Criticism of the game or its mechanics should not turn into attacks on a member of the community. Community members are encouraged to ask questions or seek advice, and should be able to expect respectful and courteous answers. In general, treat others of the community as you would a colleague or friend.

2 Do Not Post Copyrighted Content

Content that is not covered by the Open Game License, Open RPG Creative License, and/or made publicly available by Paizo or a third party is not allowed. View Paizo's community use policy.

3. Post Content of Quality

Posts should be able to spark dialogue, add interesting perspectives, educate, and otherwise contribute to the 2E experience. Quality EX: homebrew rules, analysis, something you discovered/encountered, memes that teach mechanics, stuff with a story. Low effort EX: the cover of a rulebook, AI generated content, unconstructive complaints such as "I hate..." or "X sucks," does not relate to Pathfinder 2E.

4. Limit Promotional Posts

This is a community and we welcome your content but we expect your participation in this community in return. Only 1 self-promotion post per week is allowed. Verified content creators may promote new content regularly. Only verified content creators can promote posts which may require purchases, sign-ups, or provide incentives for participation.

With the advent of Pathfinder Infinite, users advertising Infinite products will also fall under this rule.

5. Art Post Details and Attribution

Art posts must include a follow-up comment relating them to Pathfinder 2e. This could be a campaign summary, ABC and build, or character profile, as appropriate. You must also credit the artist: images that are uncredited or AI generated will be removed.

Hello, title. I have been playing pf2e coming on 2 years now. Unfortunately, I have never enjoyed character creation or progression in this system. I like playing with my group, but would rather never again make a decision when it comes to character options.

I am surprised because it seems like there are very few written resources or videos which just make a build with feats/spells chosen, retraining recommendations by level, etc. Any recommendations?

I think it can be hard to provide a definitive guide that makes all the choices for you because the campaign you’re playing will significantly influence your choices. Does your campaign go from level 1-20 or some range in between? Will you have downtime to retrain? Are you playing with variant rules? Will you be expecting a lot of combat (and what creatures) or is it more RP heavy? What are your companion builds and how many are there?

Most guides I’ve read will provide general advice and usually a rating of skills/feats/abilities with caveats or notes on when something might be better or worse.

That said, I’ve found RPGBot usually has decent guides (not sure if they’ve been updated for the remaster). Your best resource right now (until more content is on Lenny) is probably Reddit.
