Part 3 in my series of converting #Dnd #5e characters to #pathfinder2e!
I also go in-depth into how martials look and feel in both games, and the differences between the two games’ Action economy, resource systems, and level-based fantasies.

Tired of seeing people go “Knock is broken in #DnD5E and not broken in #Pathfinder2E, so utility spells suck”? Here’s a video to throw at ‘em.

I’m starting to recognize why Recall Knowledge (and Intelligence in general) gets so underrated in #Pathfinder2E (with Int being underrated in d20 RPGs in general).
The problem is that when things go poorly because of a lack of knowledge it’s “invisible”.
This is not true for other ways of 1/X
