[QUOTE="payn, post: 9093888, member: 90374"] So, I get the overwhelming reputation of Pathfinder around feats. However, PF2 has done a lot of work to silo the feats into little buckets that make leveling very easy. Your first level chargen will have a decent amount of choices, but from there each level is add a number to everything and pick a feat from a choice of about 3-5 feats. Also, based on your first level choices, that list will likely become obvious and be between 1-2 feats to choose. It is not as daunting as it appears. Also, multiclassing has been severely restricted along with archetypes so that wont complicate things much and is easy to say no to for a first stab at the game. What might get complicated at the table is all the combat maneuvers and conditions. Applying them is easy, it usually adjusts the number up or down 1-2 points. Tracking them and understanding what they effect can get a bit difficult and will take time to learn. Foundry VTT is a marvel and does all of that work for you with a few mouse clicks. Of course, that means playing with a VTT either together or across the net. The timing is pretty good for having an interest in SF because they are looking at updating it to be compatible with PF2. That means a lot of free playtest packets will be coming. Many discussions will be happening on Paizo.com forums and PF discord as well. If you keep your ear to the ground, you will see all the development along with play experience. If you really want a good sneak peak, head over to Archives of Nethys. You can learn everything about the game in a very detailed and organized website. [/QUOTE]
