I am currently looking at DM’ing for my first time as well as being the introduction for PF2e to our group.
We’ve played for a bit, started with 3.5e, and moved to 5e, however we never felt satisfied playing 5e.
We are looking now at Pathfinder 2e to continue our group and as I am the one who brought it up, it has fallen to me to DM, though I never have before. I’ve only played 1e. The group seemed to like the emphasis on group cooperation versus solo rushing that 5e seems to encourage.
Group would be 5 players, one forever DM who is glad to play for once.
I am looking through different books to try and find an introductory adventure for us to feel out PF2e. One-shots were considered but did not feel like they would teach us as much about PF2e compared to a small adventure.
Does anyone have some advice for a first time DM who is looking to bring their group from 5e? Any adventures in mind? I had been eyeing the kobold king as well as Rusthenge.
Thanks! :3
Hey I missed you already talked with someone on the beginners box but wanted to add that yeah the system is tight and you can power game but it does not make a character that much more powerful. Even with all the expansions I still see like rangers as being the top damage dealers early on and thieves later on but again not that big a difference. Im by no means the best for finding game breaking things. fighter with druid archetype is one and the gnome flail was another but again they were not that good. You could just not do free archtype to begin with but many people like the extra flexibility. The incapacitation trait with spells keep them from being insta boss kills spell wise.
