Alright, let me break it down here into a few very simple steps.

Pathfinder 2E Character Creation in 7 simple tweets!

Step 1: Envision your character!

Flip through the books, looking at the ancestries and classes. Imagine how they might come together to create your PC! Alternatively, draw from fiction or your imagination to get started.

Chat with the group about your idea to make a fun party.

Step 2: Pick your Ancestry

- Record its basic stats and pick your boosts (remember you cannot double up)
- Pick a heritage and record its bonuses.
- Decide upon a single 1st level feat and record its details.

All of these should help flesh out your character image.

Step 3: Pick a Background

- This is what your PC was trained to do before they started adventuring.
- Record the skill training and feat.
- Pick your boosts (one has to come from the background, the other can go anywhere else).

Again, the story of your PCs becomes more clear.

Step 4: Pick your Class

- Record all of your initial proficiencies and your class boost.
- Pick your skills
- Find your advancement table and look up everything you get a 1st level. Record those details.
- Make class choices
- Pick a 1st level feat or spells (if you get them)

Step 5: Details

- Give yourself 4 more ability boosts (no more than 1 to each stat), figure out your final scores and bonuses
- Go to Ch 6 of the CRB and buy 15 gp worth of gear (check out the class kits)
- Figure out all of your statistics (proficiency plus ability mods)

Step 6:

- Pick a name (the hardest part)
- Work out your backstory
- Get ready to have thrilling adventures!

When you boil it down, there is not much more than that. Pick your Ancestry, Background, and Class, buy gear and go slay some monsters! #Pathfinder2E
