[QUOTE="FowlJ, post: 7642634, member: 6788019"] For what it's worth, upgrading equipment in PF2 bears very little similarity to doing so in Starfinder. In SF, there are armour upgrades available every single level, and over a 20 point difference between the best armour and the worst - you are swapping out your gear pretty much every single level, and you begin to fall hopelessly behind if you try to go without. In PF2, there are three armour runes that increase your AC by +1, and three more that increase your saves by +1. You probably also want some property runes, to give yourself energy resistance or whatever, but in terms of 'mandatory' upgrades, there are exactly six over the course of 20 levels (none of which require you to actually change your equipment if you don't want to, because you can etch the new runes onto your existing stuff).
