Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
This is kind of an amazing review actually - It convincingly counters, more than anything I can post, the most common barrier for people trying out PF2e, that "it's too complex."
-They speak unequivocally that PF2e's reputation of being hard to learn and crunchy is the opposite of the truth. The GM says if you can learn 5E, you can learn PF2e and "guarantees" it. The wizard player, when comparing the PF2e Ezren to a 5e caster, thinks a caster in PF2 is easier than in 5e.
Maybe by 2024 I'll be able to find a Beginner Box.
helps you only need to know two (?) vancian spells, and your focus spell is just a weaker version of one of them (magic missile). then you get 5 cantrips
in 5e, you start with 6 spells plus two cantrips, but still only have two slots. so you need to read all your spells to make sure you cast the right one. ezrenβs three slots are already picked for you (and i think two are magic missile?)
Now I know what Iβm watching first thing when I get home.
The negatives and positives, all true. Plus the pathfinder website needs an overhaul.
I'm a transplant as well, commenting here to remember to watch lol
Hey, I've noticed you mentioned the game "Dungeons & Dragons"! Do you need help finding your way around here? I know a couple good pages!
We've been seeing a lot of new arrivals lately for some reason. We have a megathread dedicated to anyone requesting assistance in transitioning. Give it a look!
Here are some general resources we put together. Here is page with differences between pf2e and 5e. Most newcomers get recommended to start with the Archives of Nethys (the official rule database) or the Beginner Box, but the same information can be found in this free Pathfinder Primer.
If I misunderstood your post... sorry! Grandpa Clippy said I'm always meant to help. Please let the mods know and they'll remove my comment.
