Fellowship of the Dice

I just had the pleasure of playing the first part of the Pathfinder 2 playtest adventure "the star" from Doomsday Dawn.
I'd like to run this part here, so if anyone is interested in trying out PF2, join here. I will link you to the sheets on paizo and give additional info on chargen if I get enough players.

The adventure is rather short, but you get a good feeling on how the systems works. I probably won't be able to gm the second part, as I'm still a player in that.

I'm looking for 4-6 players.

Anyone interested?

Could be worth a try, if I can get some help on the Char Gen I'll have time.

How's PF2 different from PF?

Well, I have not yet read it all, but in playing I found a few changes. In general I think it is simpler and more streamlined.

Character generation means: assign stats, choose ancestry (=race), choose background, choose class (and make some class choices), buy equipment.

Skills now work with: stat bonus+level+expertise (+0 if you are proficient, if you are not proficient, you get -4). On higher levels, you might get skill expertise+1, mastery+2 etc . There are fewer skills.

Feats are now either ancestry feats (exclusive for certain ancestries), class feats (only for a certain class), general feats (for everyone) and skill feats (you get to do some fancy stuff with a skill).

Multiclassing is now a feat.

In the playtest version, there are not too many choices for each class, but for the start, it works. I'm hoping for a lot more choices when the real deal is published.

Actions: every round, you get three actions. You can even attack three times (if you don't move, ready something...) but in a single round, each consecutive attack gets -5. There are some feats or weapon types (agile weapons like daggers), that only get -4. So you could attack, move, then attack with -5. Of course, at first level, -5 and -10 will make you miss most of the time.

Crits: You get a crit if you roll 20, but you also crit when you roll 10 above the required number, also in combat, so if your attack is 10 above the AC, you crit.

Here are the rulebook downloads, note the errata (some big changes).

Nifty!

I can help people on character generation if needed.

So up to now I have one player interested (V). Anyone else? If not, I'll have to think of something else to GM.

I'm willing to try!

So at the moment we have V and JW.

We could just test it with two players, if you like. Anyone else?
