INTEREST CHECK: Pathfinder 2e Adventure

This is an INTEREST CHECK: Pathfinder 2e either beginning at Level 1 or Level 4.

Just post your interest and beginning level preference.

I'd be interested with a 4th level start.

I have played enough 1st level PF2 characters. I would like to start at level 4, to explore more of their capabilities.

But tell a bit more about what kind of game you are contemplating running.

Hey @Toob, did you have any ideas of what kind of PF2e game you wanted to run?

I'm certainly up for some more Pathfinder 2e. Any level is good.

I was thinking of starting off at Level 4 as our research we did resulted that players preferred a higher starting level than Level 1. At least then, characters have a lot that they can tap into and it might widen play a bit more both creatively and spontaneously.

However, in Pathfinder I have found that players don't always use their myriad of feats, skills and abilities to their fullest effect and so miss all sorts of opportunities. I don't know whether that is the nature of PBP or just not knowing what to use. In most situations, as a player, I scan my character sheet top to bottom to see what works most effectively for me and then the party. Oops! Too obvious that I like to play rogues? LOLL!

I'll give you that the slow pace of PBP and the many abilities and notes you have on a PF2e character, makes it possible to overlook the right ability at the right moment.
That is why I have made an effort to high light what abilities are actionable on my PF2e character sheets.
(This is a 5th level investigator)

@runekyndig Thats great work!

I was wondering how it could be a oner pager, a bit like this character sheet. Yes, it is a Starfinder 2e Character Sheet however, a Pathfinder one would be good to have. Sorry but it is in Portrait, but in Landscape form.

With the GP chactersheet there is room to expand every feature. I feel its to easy to forget something about your skills/features/abilities if you have to look them up elsewhere. On one-page sheets there are no room to add all the references.

Also its make it easy the drop down a reference into your post with the relevant spell/feature

Here is a link to the full character sheet

I would modify such a character sheet for Starfinder 2e once I get into such a game

Sometimes it's a matter of timing. In PbP if the game is moving too fast (lol) You're feeling the push to catch up. Some classes are also worse than others, example Investigator, but anyone with a bunch of reactions or pseudo-reactions also has the issue.

@runekyndig Nicely done!

@ToDream Yes! Good point there too!

If I’m not too late as a fourth, kindly posting my interest. Level 4 would be great.
Sorry, I should rescind that. Seems I’m getting into another game soon already, not wanting to overload. Someone else can have this spot. Have a great game, all!
Cheers.

How much should I retrain myself?
I have a character concept in my head for a PF2e character that I want to develop, but only if there is a game for it.
The Animist class + Elf ancestry + John Constantine + A fondness for food + Makes ill-advised choices
I don't know precisely how these fits together, but they are orbiting each other when I'm doing laundry or other menial tasks.

@runekyndig That's a very interesting character. Tempted to create a Campaign just to see what happens! LOL!

@Toob, you are teasing me :D

@runekyndig That's a very interesting character. Tempted to create a Campaign just to see what happens! LOL!Who me? Moi? No, not at all!

Well, we almost have a party! There's Knighthawke, ToDream, and runekyndig. So we have three I guess. Not quite enough yet!

I could join. I haven't played PF2 really at all. Mostly 5e and PF1.
WOuld be interested in learning.

Level 1 would be best IMO.

You would be starting at Level 4.

I can deal with starting at level 4.
Might take me a bit to make a character, and I might need some help.

I will start working on it now

Edit. I am thinking of going Thaumaturge. Scholarly book themed. Collecting knowledge to better understand the world and tell others.

Well, we almost have a party! There's Knighthawke, ToDream, runekyndig and Smiley. So we have four now. Still not quite enough yet!

How many do you feel is a full party?
In my experience, a small group of active players makes a better game than a larger group. Of corse it depends largely on if the group can cover all the core roles that is needed in the game. (healer, tank, face...)
That being said I am a bit concerned that @Knighthawke have been offline for a while now

I haven't played PF2 yet, but I've played PF1 and every flavor of DnD except the original so I can probably figure it out. I don't have a character concept, but I'd happily join up and figure out where the gap(s) are in the party.

Nice one Bullseyepsa!

@runekyndig I think that once posted up it might attract some players too but I hear you. Active players is what is needed. A lot of games simply die or fall by the wayside when players disappear for whatever reason. It is concerning.

@Smiley and @Bullseyepsa I can recommend Archives of Nethys as a open source for the PF2e rules
and Pathbuilder2 as a character generator that has most of the options available for free. So you can perhaps make 98% of your character there, and to the rest manually.

I was just looking at those sites last night :). I do have the original PF2 book but I don't think I have the remastered (though I might have them from a charity bundle). I was playing around with a Poppet Sorcerer build because it amused me.

I am interested. I have never played PF2e, but I tried very hard to get my old table to play it instead of 5e. My work schedule rotates, but can be available for multiple posts every day.

Well, we are getting there. There's ToDream, runekyndig, Smiley, Bullseyepsa and now opus48. So we have now have 5. will get on to it!

@runekyndig Looks like its Christmas for you!

I'm looking forward to the game pitch :D

Woot! Woot!
Looking forward to this.

Haven't played PF2 much looking for something different.

Bounced some idears off chat-gpt and made an avatar suggestion, for an occult detective kind of character. If the game is city based, if we are going into the wilderness, or the game is set on an air ship, then I'll rework this.

Cool concept! Would you be interested in doing a buddy cop thing, assuming the setting is appropriate?

Absolutely. It does say "Moon & Mire" on the door :D
You can have first pick on what name is yours.

This is the kind of spinoff I really enjoy by making a character based on an image. Small things that seem inconsequence, all of sutten becomes the source of inspiration.

Meet Lt. Marshall Mire:



The investigator class is perfect for the flavour I want, but they seem pretty useless in combat.

Dang it I might have to wait to make a character Everyone is doing the same sort of theme...

Occult Detective.
Investigator.
I was going to do an occult-themed thaumaturge researcher. Collecting knowledge and making scrolls.

Unless that is the full theme of the campaign

I promise myself that I will only let myself be carried away, once I'm invited into the game and @Toob has revealed his setting idea

Right! That character setup is awesome!!!!!! It's like an Acme Private Detective agency. Such a very cool setup! So, will get the Campaign set up now! I will be borrowing from other games but Pathfinder will be the key!

I think I can make a misfit oddball to work with these two. A kinda noirish kitchen sink :)

GOT IT! Will post set up over the next few days!
