Message: <blockquote data-quote="Zardnaar" data-source="post: 7645193" data-attributes="member: 6716779">Chapter 1 Intorduction Review 642 pages of PDF goodness to dig through. First things first the cover. its an improvement on PF 1 and WAR 4E covers but its till WAR art. Personally I don't like his art style and have not since around 2002's Deities and Demigods for 3.0. To cartoony and animie for my tastes. Its a downvote for me, if I saw this sitting on a store shelf and didn't know what it was the art lone is a turn off. To be fair art is subjective but IMHO the cover is worse than say 5E art and even the 2E PHB art from 1989 and 1995 as it at least looks realistic. WAR can do good cover art, his 4E Darksun art look good IMHO but Paizo seems to have doubled down on his style. Its not a deal breaker but it is a negative for me. It doesn't get any better on page 5 and 6 while page 7 reminds e of a cleric of Lathendar on the cover of Faiths and Avatars from 1996 which arguably looked better. Page 9 has the 1st art I did like which i a landscape of a Dwarven fortress but yeah. The rest of the chapter is a very basic 101 course on the basics, an example of play, and it explains the PF2 actions system. Overall fairly good so far and I'll be generous and give it an upvote, it does its job and was easy to follow, can't ask for much more. It goes on to describe the boosts system which I admit I like and had fun with in the playtest. its new and I like it so another upvote. From page 23 it has a nice step by step guide with more bad character art (already downvoted), but its fairly easy to follow and they give a step by step guide so I'll throw in another upvote. Page 32 also has a nice picture of a treetop village, not enough for an upvote but the scenary looks nice. Upvotes 3Downvotes 1. Good so far, but the character art starting from the cover is bad IMHO. In the races the halfling art in particular looks bad and you can't actually tell the Gnome is a gnome and it could be almost any near human race wearing a hood.</blockquote>
