Learn these Pathfinder systems FIRST! 

Dang, we had it all wrong.... 😶 With Robert being the resident Goblin economist, he might want to weigh in on monetary theory in the future...

@@goblinsalvagerites I thought that Goblin economists were measuring how many goblins you pay for different goods?

I absolutely agree with you. Very excellent description.

Yes absolutely!

😳 thank you very much!

Hell yeah! Thanks for your support! We're trying really hard to explain things in an engaging way.

Thanks so much!

Awesome! We're going to be slowly but surely making more videos like this for newer players, stay tuned!

🥰

Thank you! We definitely have content about classes planned for the future.

Hell yeah! Thanks for your support, we've got a discord as well if you ever need more questions answered! 🤘

Hell yea! Thank you for the support!

Glad to hear it!

Thank you so much for your support! We might post a couple cheat sheets in the description this weekend if we can find them online. There are so many that have been already made it be a shame to try and reinvent the wheel

@@goblinsalvagerites I got the beginner box a few days ago. It has some very nice cheat sheet handouts, but it seems to cover 20% of your options. For good reason, it's a beginner box after all. A sheet that has more would be welcomed. Just need to save it for further down the road to avoid painful looks of being overwhelmed.

Awesome, thank you!

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for your support, it really means allot to us! 😁

💯💯💯 I think you might be the first one to get it right! Are there any other systems you'd be interested in having us explain in the future?

Funny enough, that was actually going to be in the video as an extra, but we decided to cut it due to video length. We definitely will have an episode specifically dedicated to modes of play in the future. We recently talked about modes of play in our most recent poscast on leadership if you want to check that out!

Glad it was helpful!

Glad you enjoyed it!

AWESOME!

Thank you! 🤘🤘🤘

Hell yea! Thanks for your support!

Awesome! Glad you liked it!

Glad you found it useful!

ABSOLUTELY! Thanks for your support!

Glad you liked it!

Hell yea theo! It's easily one of best fantasy TTRPGs on the market right now. If you have any questions about it you can join the discord and we'll be happy to answer! Or here works 😂

Pathfinder is a much more rules heavy system than 5e and take a little bit of effort to get into but it runs so smoothly that it is nearly effortless. I love games that have well thought out and tight rulesets and PF2 is really good. Taking 20 and Puffin Forest both put out very negative videos about PF2. I think Taking20 had mostly reasonable commentary on the system and it was just not a system he likes. Puffin Forest’s video was an awful and disingenuous representation of the PF2 system and how it runs. His example of a single round of combat was absolutely untrue. Nearly all of the calculation is already done on the character sheet.

Thank you! More guides are in the works!

Yea you got close! Thank you so much for the support. It really means a lot to us 😁. Are there any other systems you'd be interested in having explained?

Thank you! 🥰

All paths lead to....

Welcome aboard!

Glad you liked it!

Of course... proficiency... Fuck... :D

Great and informative video! I'm going to share it to my friends, who wish to better understand the basics of Pf2 :)

Thank you so much for your kind words! It truly means a lot to us and keeps us going.

Well done!

Yes! That's exactly why we made the video. This system looks intimidating at first, but we think that's just because it's novel. Once you get familiar with it, It plays really smoothly.

@@goblinsalvagerites having taken time to introduce it to a lot of people in the last two weeks, I think the problem is without the system is a little too good for its own good. It has an impressive horizontal depth with a proportionate vertical depth needed to make the various options worthwhile. The problem is that tends to be overwhelming and quickly fatigues players who are not comfortable feeling like they have a grasp of the total system, which is most of them. It's a very human problem but most players really want to just roll up and feel in command of the system within five minutes, and most TTRPGs don't. It was only by minimizing the system to the greatest possible degree that WotC finally hit marketing success. It pains me to say it because it's so easy to say, but the best thing Paizo could do is figure out a very simple onboarding process that gets players into the fun stuff as immediately as possible

Thank you for your support! It really means a lot to us!

Very close!

Ding ding ding we have a winner!

I'll take 2/3 xD. Your focusing specifically on proficiency and how it breaks down was so well done. Especially with how you used it to naturally lead into 4 degrees of success by addressing crits during attack calculation. :)

Thank you so much for your support! It really means a lot to us!

@@goblinsalvagerites yea i make it a point to comment and like smaller channels. hope ur channel grows. pf2e build vids may be popping soon. especially if u do a little bit of click bait like "eldrich baker - the chef feat is good!!!" and have the build be about a hag descendent human alchemist or whatever that makes treats (potions) for your teammates that buff them. good luck.

Yay! Thank you for your support! It really means a lot to us!

Thank you!

Thank you so much for your support! It really means a lot!

Close!

Lol yep, after shooting that scene three or four times and making various mistakes along the way I just kept the best take I had 😂 Thanks for your support!

@@goblinsalvagerites How long did it take to create that video? From inception till "ready for upload".

Feats are a separate but just as important topic. They deserve their own video honestly.

Great guess!

Close! Traits were definitely high on our list! Explaining traits in the future will be difficult. Is there an analogy that springs to mind?

@@goblinsalvagerites For me traits are like keyboard shortcuts. They end up saving a lot of time. So if the player uses a spell that has the Mental trait on a Zombie that has the Mindless trait, you already know that the spell will have no effect. Rather than trying to memorize all the shortcuts, the best way to learn is to only use the ones you need when you need them.

😁😁😁

Close!

The ability scores are a relic of D&D and we nerds just can't quit it. You can basically just use the modifiers in 2e. AC is just an easier way of managing armor and dodging. One thing PF2 did was bring some of the neat mechanics regarding that into the game. Shields for example now have to be raised to increase your AC and can be used to minimize damage taken with the shield also taking damage.

G Michael makes a really good points. Dad onto his explanation in previous editions certain spells and abilities would make a direct alterations to your base stats. So you could get like a negative 4 to your strengths or something. These days It's just a golden cow, a Leftover part of the game they didn't want to change because they worried it would probably be too much of a departure for players changing from other games or other editions. But you're completely right, you could strip the ability scores away and just deal in bonuses. Armor class has a really long and sorted history, but history alone shouldn't dictate how a mechanic works in the future, right? It turns out when you're playing a TTRPG like this, the more steps you add to combat the more time consuming it becomes, it may not seem like a lot at first, but adding a Dodge mechanic and then an armor mechanic adds a huge level of complexity on the tabletop and in character generation. With the proficiency system, AC actually makes for a really robust and dynamic armor system. You really got to try it! Thanks for commenting with your questions, if you have any more, feel free to jump into our discord and ask away!

@@goblinsalvagerites I like your observation. In RPGs you want combat to be engaging. The more steps you add to it, the more it slows down. The key is to make it engaging and fast. I think PF2e does a good job at balancing that.

Yes!

Yep! When writing the script we included a longer explanation of that section but decided to cut it down for simplicity. When your explaining complicated stuff like this sometimes you have to take liberties/ generalizations like that. But yes, you're absolutely correct!

Lol thank you King! Are you on the discord yet?

Nice!
