[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8503426, member: 93670"] I personally went the other way. I went through 3.0>3.5>PF & remember the headaches that often eventually turned up after trying to blend things across so just decided to avoid that entirely by making a clean break. I've read the entire AG, skimmed or read most of t&t and read the nonstatblock sections of the mm (ire encounter building stuff in appendix). One of my players mostly read or skimmed the AG while the other 4 players have read considerably less right up to one I'm pretty sure didn't even bother actually reading their class & archetype's pages. Session zero was pretty much a full session devoted to character creation [spoiler="character creation is pretty easy"]Pick one of each, most have one or more choices [ATTACH type="full" alt="1641405464666.png"]149431[/ATTACH][/spoiler] The first session or two involved a a few players fumbling to lookup what their abilities do & remember/write down relevant bits, this was mostly due to doing things like writing down an ability name without any details of what the ability does. By session two or three things were pretty smooth & despite a lot of combat in session4 the only thing that needed looking up was "some of you guys might have a weapon that's extra effective against a wooden door if it has the breaker:wood tag" followed by "I think I do!... ooo I deal double damage against the door!".
