Well, we do have this, a collection of 100 spoilers from Pathfinder 2, posted in picture form: https://glasstopgames.com/ Plus, Paizo has put out some new blogs on character creation: https://paizo.com/community/blog/v5748dyo6sgrg?Experience-Builds-Character and some of how the game plays...

Well, while we don't have the finished product, what we have seen leading into it makes me think it's a game I could enjoy. Going to have to do a few games with my group, see if we enjoy it more or less than Pathfinder as is. Hoping it finds that sweet spot between Pathfinder 1st Edition and...

Honestly, PF2E having its own place to exist distinct from 5E is a good thing. Finding a healthy ground of complexity between 5E and Classic Pathfinder, a place where Martials can feel more potent, and a game where you can truly feel powerful, those that can enjoy that can find a place to take...

I played 4E for a while before switching over to Pathfinder, and I wouldn't say that was the problem. At least, not for me and my group. Honestly, choice felt super limited in 4E, and all techniques, magic, melee, etc, all felt too samey. Yeah, I'm super fine with martial characters going full...

Some of these spoilers are amazing. Don't piss off a 20th level Ranger, he'll track you through time and space for revenge, lol. Reading a few dozen of these has gotten me pumped up again for the release in August.

1d20+level+proficiency rank+Strength (or Dex where appropriate)+Weapon's item bonus So basically, like everyone has full BAB, but you factor in how proficient one is with a weapon (-2 for Untrained, +0 for Trained, +1 for Expert, +2 for Master, +3 for Legendary). It might also factor in the...

Actually, Attacks of Opportunities aren't just limited to Fighters. Fighters are just the only class that gets them by default. I definitely saw AoO as a feat option for Paladins while reading that. As for "Full-Round Actions", you can absolutely attack three times in a row (four if hasted)...

What's wrong with how "the tactical nature of the gameplay" has been changed? Just curious as to what's not clicking for you to the point of not even giving it a shot. PF2E still seems to have quite a lot of depth to it without being stuck with the bloat that the PF1 accumulated over the years...

From what I remember reading from the devs in the various blog comments sections, it's set up so you can make NPCs quick and easy in a non-PC way, but you can still make NPCs like PCs if that's your preference, or you want to go crazy detailed for a major boss or what have you.

Well, I mean, yes and no. In some ways, there's been a bit of a tone down, and the gap between martials and casters has shrunk some between skill feats and ritual casting that martials can do. ...But then you see things like the 10th Level Primal Spell that Druids can learn that literally lets...

I feel like once an SRD is up and running and this stuff is a quick search and decently organized with links and what have you, it'll make it all the easier to pick up. Still in my first read through, finally at skills.

There is absolutely nothing stopping someone using a character set up like that at level one from becoming more proficient at thievery over time, taking skill feats to improve said abilities, or boosting one's Dex to further help (you get four +2 every 4 levels, it's not that difficult). I think...

Ah, right, thanks! So yeah, a Dwarf Barbarian with 16 Con would have 25 HP (10+12+3). Even more with Toughness and Barbarian Rage. A lot more than the Elf Wizard with 8 Con stuck with 11 HP.

...Because it literally functions like an in-game shield? Hence the name Shield? I'm wondering how Shield scales, given Cantrips are cast as if at your highest spell level.

Well, it can vary quite a bit. For instance, an Elf Wizard with an 8 Con (which is possible due to their racial -2 to Con) can have 11 HP, the lowest I can think of right now. 6 HP from Elf for the first level, 6 from Wizard, -1 from 8 Con. Now, let's try something different, with a Human...

Martial arts practicing Monks exist in the real world, but I'm pretty sure they can't punch through a steel door like it's butter, no matter how well they train. There's going to be plenty examples of Legendary Skill abilities matching what, say, Beowulf did, or Heracles (I seem to recall...

Well, AC's formula should be 10+Proficiency Mod+Dex+Level, so your starting AC could be as high as 16 with a Monk given you can get one starting stat to 18 (10+1+4+1). Given Monks are the only class to start as Experts in their armor type (Unarmored), and both it and Paladins are the two classes...

Well, given style feats change your unarmed attack properties, including what damage dice they do, they might not need to give them that kind of progression. Also, with how they made Greatswords 1d12 instead of 2d6, I think they were trying to remove multiple dice on regular, non +X weapons, so...

Well, remember that any +X enhancements to weapons improve their damage dice, not the modifier. So your item for boosting unarmed damage (I want to say the forums have been calling it Handwraps of Mighty Fists) would raise your unarmed damage dice. So a +5 would make it, say, 6d6 or whatever...

Worth a note on the subject of AC and Attacks. When it comes to AC, Mark Seifter commented on how the Monk holds up: "That and starting with expert proficiency in unarmored defense is much faster than any other class in the game (even paladin) gets expert armor proficiency, and you're in a...
