And yet, human fighter with basic sword and shield feats is still just as satisfying as day 1 :)

edit: Fuck, can I just gush about fighters in PF2e for a sec? Paizo really nailed the "boring normal" class, just by virtue of having them be slightly more accurate in combat - thereby boosting both crit rate for first swings, and offsetting the multi-attack penalty for followup swings. I've never had more fun dropping normal attacks in a ttrpg because each swing was just that much more likely to drop a juicy crit, followed up by a knockdown proc from choosing to be a hammer specialist or a pindown from being a bow specialist, etc. You then have a bunch of action condensers from your feats (which you can actually swap out on a day to day basis if you're so inclined) to do your cool normal attacks more often in a dynamic combat. And reactive strike at level 1 practically doubles your normal attack output right out of the gate if your cool pancake horfing teammates futz with some magic or wrestling bullshit to knock enemies prone.

Normal attacks fucking rule.

Pathfinder is for my soul. I live off that crunchy shit.

however 8 different spells from 11 different books that all give +1 to profession (tailor) checks at night time may have been a poor design choice

I cannot recommend the Pathbuilder app enough. It narrows everything down to the available options based on what you've chosen so far, without taking the option of house ruling away from you.

I got a buddy that rolls randomly for all of those, only rerolling if they gets a combination they already used

How easy it is for someone not knowing the game to build or even play a character? It's great to have thousands of option, except when you join a game, don't know yet all the option available and find up latter that your build doesn't work. Is it a risk in pathfinder, or are the options robust enough to neither close path early nor have necessary combo?

Call me when they have prestige classes
