Pathfinder 2e
A place for people to discuss Pathfinder 2e
Rules:
1. Be Kind and Respectful
Criticism of the game or its mechanics should not turn into attacks on a member of the community. Community members are encouraged to ask questions or seek advice, and should be able to expect respectful and courteous answers. In general, treat others of the community as you would a colleague or friend.
2 Do Not Post Copyrighted Content
Content that is not covered by the Open Game License, Open RPG Creative License, and/or made publicly available by Paizo or a third party is not allowed. View Paizo's community use policy.
3. Post Content of Quality
Posts should be able to spark dialogue, add interesting perspectives, educate, and otherwise contribute to the 2E experience. Quality EX: homebrew rules, analysis, something you discovered/encountered, memes that teach mechanics, stuff with a story. Low effort EX: the cover of a rulebook, AI generated content, unconstructive complaints such as "I hate..." or "X sucks," does not relate to Pathfinder 2E.
4. Limit Promotional Posts
This is a community and we welcome your content but we expect your participation in this community in return. Only 1 self-promotion post per week is allowed. Verified content creators may promote new content regularly. Only verified content creators can promote posts which may require purchases, sign-ups, or provide incentives for participation.
With the advent of Pathfinder Infinite, users advertising Infinite products will also fall under this rule.
5. Art Post Details and Attribution
Art posts must include a follow-up comment relating them to Pathfinder 2e. This could be a campaign summary, ABC and build, or character profile, as appropriate. You must also credit the artist: images that are uncredited or AI generated will be removed.

Well it was kind of a bumpy road. Originally it was going to work like a spell caster with focus points and a pool of abilities that shifted level to level, which was kind of so-so and felt underpowered compared to just going with a regular spell caster. Moving to the gather/blast/impulse system opened up it's utility 10 fold! And the class makes you feel useful wether you master one aspect or stretch out to majoring in several others. The hardest part in my opinion was finding an acceptable balance across the elements we ended up with because we initially started with only 4 on the table (the classics) but tried expanding to I think 10 or 12 at some point? Those were some confusing days.
With the book hitting people's hands and shelves soon, im proud of the work we put in, and the whole Paizo team, to bring what'd I would say is one of the coolest modules and expansions to date for the PF2 system.
And to follow back to your original question, my favorite thing is an impulse called Rolling Boulder. It's fairly simple but I find nothing is funnier or scary than a giant Boulder hurling at a foe.
