Party Dynamic and Character Creation

When all else fails, I will go bard or rogue.

You can't go wrong with the classics.

I've done Magus before (my favorite), and I've done Alchemist. Other than that, I was always the DM. I usually stick to melee, or a mix of melee and magic.

Thinking possibly Unchained Barbarian, Unchained Rogue, or Slayer.

Slayers are a lot of fun. The unchained classes are something I've never dealt with, but reading over the Barbarian, I don't see any problems with it.

They're primarily just adjustments to make them more flavorful, easy to use, and better balanced. Like they adjust Rage to make it FAR easier.

Gonna go with the Unchained Barbarian. Take care of the front line

EDIT: HP Rolls

They seem really nifty. I like what they did with the Unchained Rogue...Finesse for the win...

Yeah, I wish they'd do a workover of all the classes, like they did for Monk, Barb, Rogue, and Summoner. They're much better designed

Yeeeaaaaah...I'm gonna need to get this book.

I have NO idea what class I'm going to get (since I haven't really looked) but I've played Samurai briefly at a con and Summoner sounds DOPE. I'm gonna be Yuna everybody (unless I'm not).

There are a lot of variant rules in there too

Automatic Bonus Progression

Revised Action Economy

These are the two that I like the most. There's a good review here

I've never played PF but am pretty experienced (as a player) with D&D 3e. I played a rogue for 10 years in an IRL D&D 3e campaign. This Unchained stuff looks boss!

I think it's time for Pathfinder 2.0 lol
Learn from the past and restart fresh :)

I've always wanted to play a Summoner, but never did. The few times I got to play, I didn't have the time to build an Eidolon at character creation. They look fun, though.

My HP rolls were 5 and 2... The RNG gods hate me today

Agreed. Holy cow, I didn't realize I was this far behind on things. Thanks, local Books-a-Million, for not stocking a lot of the latest Paizo books.

It's all good, though. I'm flexible. I can learn these new rules quickly. I've got plenty of time while you guys are building characters...

Was thinking of going Beast Totem path, but Amulets of Mighty Fists are unbelievably expensive...

Let's do some rolling here....

EDIT: 16, 11, 13, 14, 16, 16 - Sweet...

Yep, looking through the books I think I'm going with a human witch...

I have none of the books. What is the bare minimum I need to buy in order to play?

Core Rulebook would be enough. Maybe Paizo has like a free PDF that covers core stuff though, not sure...
