I can still post and reply, so this is just a point of curiosity.

Of course it seems like Wizard with an Illusion school speciality is the way to go, but with the upcoming Remaster changes removing those schools I thought I’d ask you find folks.

Plus I’ve only been playing since Feb. 2023 so I don’t really know the classes all that well. Perhaps there’s a ‘hidden gem’ in there I’m unaware would make an excellent Illusionist.

EDIT: I’ve checked AoN and it seems that the Occult tradition gets all of the Illusion school spells, plus a few more that Arcane does not!

Preface: In any RPG the best character to play is one that fires up your imagination! A character that you’re having fun with will always be better, and play better, in-game than one that may be numerically better on paper, but doesn’t zing your thing.

“Character optimization happens at the table in Pathfinder 2e, not on the character sheet.”
– Logan Bonner, Pathfinder Lead Designer

So get a firm idea in your mind of a fun character that fires up your brain, then work with the rest of your group to bring them to the table as a team ready to experience epic stories!

The web-based app doesn’t seem to be able to use the base traits like “Martial” or “Sword” etc., that aren’t actually a ‘trait box’ within the program.

So trying to create a Barbarian Rage custom buff is turning out to be harder than I thought. (I really don’t want to add every applicable ‘trait box’ to the buff.)

Anyone know of such a list, or code to use? Or has anyone found a workaround? Thanks in advance!

Because of the nature of Lemmy to post stuff (“seeds”) that “grow” into vibrant discussions.

Just finished a PFS game and my PC is Enfeebled 2. How do I get rid of this before my next session?

Thank you!

In the Pathfinder Society I'd like to create a Fighter (using Pathbuilder 2E) that's good at grappling creatures. But there seems to be so many ways of doing this.

It seems like taking Monk/Wrestler as a L2 Archetype Dedication would be advantageous, but since I've never played a pure Fighter I'm not sure if their feats would accomplish the same thing without the overhead. (It's PFS so no Free Archetype.)

I want a character that does good to great, consistent damage (hence Fighter as base class), with the ability to pin down a tough opponent to make them flat-footed, so others can land hits easier.

Boy I hope I'm using those terms correctly…

Hi everybody! Brand new here and whilst searching "All" I only found 2 Communities related to Pathfinder 2E. This one and "[email protected]".

Is that all of them?
