[QUOTE="Retreater, post: 8636886, member: 42040"] I know you didn't ask me specifically, but I've got around 100 hours logged into Foundry for PF2e. So I think Foundry is a phenomenal tool for PF2e, but you're going to get more use out of it as a VTT than a GM's aid. For example, if you're not using it as a tactical combat tracker it's not going to track durations of conditions, prompt you to roll saves against ongoing conditions, automatically roll the damage from persistent effects, etc. If you want to apply conditions/effects directly to a character sheet, you're going to have to go through several more steps (looking up the condition in the compendium pack and dragging it onto the sheet) - whereas if you were using a token on the map, it's a right click on the token then selecting the condition graphic from a pop-up window. If your players are going to roll from the character sheets, it can math out the multi-attack penalty. Also, if they roll from the character sheet it will automatically apply the effects of conditions (such as Frightened). In my opinion, as a GM's aid it will be more of a hindrance than a help. I'd recommend getting the Condition Cards from Paizo and pass them around your physical table and put them on the character sheet as a reminder to apply the condition. Or make a note on the character sheet and erase it when it's no longer applicable. This is what I'm going to do when I return to in-person play next month.
