[QUOTE="The-Magic-Sword, post: 8149426, member: 6801252"] Though, at least in the ol DND games (or ADND anyway), the rules actually pointed at those property acquisitions-- fighters got people who follow them as a class feature, assassins had to become the masters of assassin's guilds to progress, in theory this meant any player who was looking ahead was probably at least dimly aware that it was a thing they were meant to engage with. About the previous conversation, PF2e [I]can[/I] let any ancestry start with an 18 even if its a flaw, you just end up with marginally worse stats overall.
