Important to note is that in PF2e, enemies having attack of opportunity are a rarity rather than the rule. As a monk, you can quite reliably dance across the battlefield and accomplish hit and run tactics if you wish to play that way.

".... you can also explode. Voluntarily."

You have my attention!

One reason I love pathfinder is that while 5e characters feel very linear, with the biggest choice you make being your subclass, pathfinder characters feel like jenga towers that allow you to change out blocks for different ones you like better, with your race and class providing only the foundation of the tower, rather than a vast majority of it.

[TheBassManBoy]

Even after watching the video, I still can't get over the dude at the start was eating his dice.

What I love about Pathfinder vs DND is how your character's race matters more.
It's like a subclass in and of itself.
In DND, you pick your race (or species I think they're calling it now) and you add some to your ability scores, subtract some, get a racial ability you'll use once and forget about, and probably get darkvision, because of course you do. And that's it. Most racial options have barely any impact on your character outside of RP.

Meanwhile in Pathfinder, you could choose to be a goblin, and later get to play as a living meteorite that's IMMUNE TO FALL DAMAGE!
You get new feats and abilities according to your race as you go, which can synergize and unlock new options later, AS WELL as all the customization options you get from your class and everything else!

This shit blew my mind when I read it!

My first character was a cat folk alchemist. His specialty was bomber, yet also helped with making elixirs for my team. (lack of designated support). I love Niko and would pick him back up in a heartbeat if given the chance.

[sca.dash.chilling]

The coolest thing about pathfinder 2 that makes me want to try it out is that Intelligence is actually utilized more as a base stat for more than just a wizard or artificer

[mackenziediaz]

I recently got a Pathfinder book. I stared at it for a few moments before promptly closing it. I could barely wrap my head around it!
But this definitely gave me some motivation to get back in there. The Investigator is really appealing to me!!

[MrPlab]

I'd love more in depth class reviews! Either way I love your work, here's to many years of more awesome content!

[spectralsheep]

Did he just kill a man and then talk to an empty room for 20 minutes?

[spiritwaker]

My immediate thought upon seeing Ranger was "Monster Hunter time?" then realizing that "Yes, Monster Hunter time!"

Plus, we haven't even touched on Archetypes. Being able to play a Lv 20 Fighter who also happens to be able to cast Lv 8 spells as a Wizard, or a Cleric of Gorum who is able to Rage like a Barbarian, is so much fun for theme builds.

[Telawin]

I've been curious about pathfinder but I've been really overwhelmed by all the stuff you need to do for character creation. so videos like this are a major help. thank you

[GoddessCynthia]

really refreshing to see a pathfinder 2e video be under 20 minutes, would love to see more!

[BlueDavrial]

Magus has always been a fave of mine PF1 and it's even better in PF2. Would love to actually get a chance to play it sometime.
I like how Magus and Witch are like the two different sides of the 5e Warlock. Magus is the martial limited caster with a spellbook, Witch is the caster with hexes and weird spells and a familiar

[RenoKyrie]

Pathfinder 2E Ranger DEFFINITLY feel like what i thought 5E Ranger was supposed to be
Not fully commit to be Guardian to specific thing, more like freelancer Guardians lmao

Either stop Outer entities from invading or Not make Animals or Humans go ape shit on each other

[ursoanonimo]

My TTRPG party moved over to Pathfinder 2e after a long 2 year campaign playing on D&D 5e. On P2e I knew I wanted to create a martial character, but I wasn’t sure which. Then I went and made a Giant Mauler Barbarian. I have been enjoying the game well since.

[starhalv]

My first character will be a psychic. F*ck it, we ball.

[monstergirl]

This was really helpful, as one of the horde making a switch from dnd 5e to Pathfinder 2e bite-sized info compilations like this with a bit of play experience and game history thrown in are perfect for building up confidence and actually getting a respectful handle on the new system I'm diving into. I'd love if you do more guides but if not, thanks a bunch for this one!

[AmonHa]

That video really is amazing. It brings a good chunk of information but not exaggerating in said information. It straight to the point. I love it!

If possible, a video about Pathfinder 2e races would be interesting (either in the Core book, or the supplement ones).

[scrapyarddragon]

Haha, now you've gotten me wanting to actually look into trying to get into pathfinder since some of those were really neat. Thaumaturge especially.
