Message: <blockquote data-quote="Corinnguard" data-source="post: 9008856" data-attributes="member: 7033886">In Pathfinder 2nd edition, the word race has been replaced with Ancestry. So you pick an Ancestry and then you pick up a Heritage and an ancestral feat at 1st level. Level Up otoh replaces race with Heritage (who your parents were) and Culture (the society you grew up in). Like PF2's ancestry, you pick a Level Up Heritage and a Heritage gift (which works just like a feat) at 1st level. But at 10th level, Level Up gives you a Paragon gift that either improves whatever gift you got initially or gives you something completely new. So you get two feat-like abilities for playing as a member of a particular heritage. As for Culture, this feature takes what use to be a subrace in 5e and makes them into something more cultural. For instance, say you wanted to play a Dwarf, in Level Up, your Dwarf character could have been raised in the following Dwarven cultures- Mountain Dwarf, Hill Dwarf, or Deep Dwarf. You could, with your Narrator's permission, even play a Dwarf who has been raised in a non-Dwarf culture and gain that culture's benefits instead of those typically associated with any of the Dwarf cultures. You just need to come up with a convincing backstory on how you came to be raised in that non-Dwarf culture.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Then there are a couple cultures like Cosmopolitan, Lone Wanderer and Steamforged that aren't heritage-specific.I won't go into background since everyone here is familiar with it. Instead, I'll finish up on character origin with Destiny. Destiny basically represents your goal or motivation for being an adventurer. You became an adventurer to prove yourself, for revenge, to become a god, etc. Hehe. I'll end it here as talking about Level Up would require it's own lengthy thread on the forums. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
