Welcome to Pathfinder 2e in 7 Minutes or Less

welcome to Pathfinder 2E this is a short intro video to introduce you to the basic tools and knowledge of any Pathfinder player I'll assume you know what a tabletop RPG is you know our favorite hobby that's a mix between playing a board game and reading a book but what's so special about Pathfinder 2E specifically nothing nothing is that special it's a game about the classic fantasy formula of Heroes fighting monsters but it's done very well and has a big emphasis on tactical combat tons of player options from being a wizard to a robot to a living pumpkin man and it's basically totally free you may have heard of Dungeons and Dragons also a tabletop RPG that's the first tabletop RPG by far the most popular and made by a big rich company called Wizards of the Coast owned by Hasbro every few years they make a new addition of Dungeons and Dragons Pathfinder is essentially a little Branch off of these additions of Dungeons and Dragons dragons made by a much smaller company called piso it split off around the Third Edition back in 2009 that was Pathfinder first edition since then Pathfinder has diverged a lot more but the bones of both games are the same all the players control a Fantasy character the game master or GM describes a situation in the fantasy world you describe what your character does in response if there's a challenge the GM will assign a number representing the difficulty of that challenge you roll a D20 a 20-sided die and tried to beat that number however if in the fantasy world you ever encounter a hostile creature like a werewolf or a goblin or a zombie you begin tracking time in rounds and turns and you almost enter a little tactical miname to defeat them that tactical miname called combat is what separates Pathfinder 2E from other tabletop RPGs because Pathfinder has invested a lot of resources to make the combat very good and interesting but the second awesome thing about Pathfinder is that it's almost totally free seriously go on the website archives of neths and all the rules even the rules released in little niche books about skeletons or robots are listed officially on the website that can be a downside because it means there's a ton of content to sort through so you could consider it more of a reference document if you want to look up a rule or check out options for your character but it also means that you don't have to buy a book if you don't want to although you end up wanting to just because of the cool art and layout I'll keep it simple and end it there as long as you have some kind of structure to understand the following videos most are about combat or character options which is where Pathfinder excels have fun and welcome to Pathfinder 2E also many of my videos reference cheat sheets you can use when you're learning the game all cheat sheets are available on Pathfinder infinite and are pay what you want check out the link in the description sh
