...question about the Chrome Web Store not working...
If you don't see an Add to Chrome button, you probably need to allow new Edge to take extensions from the Chrome store. Click on the "..." menu in the top right corner of your new Edge browser, then from there select Extensions.
Your navigation bar at the top of the browser should now say "edge://extensions/". In the bottom left corner of the main browser window you should see a slider bar labelled "Allow extensions from other stores". Click on that slider so it is enabled (shows up as a blue slider with white dot to the right).
Now navigate to Paizo Campaign Tools in the Chrome web store, and you should hopefully see the Add to Chrome button on the right.

Don't worry about Pip and Saliss. We're not playing, we're here to answer questions! Now... That does sound like a lot of characters. Numbat, do you need a second GM?

Second try.
Let's try a die roll:
[dice=Attack]1d20+9
Okay, that works. Do you want us to do the full character sheet deal? By the looks of it, that should take me about a week!
Your header looks good, but I would suggest that yes, you do a character sheet. It does not have to be as full as mine. But let's be fair to your GM and fill in the following:
SKILLS
FEATS
ATTRIBUTES
ATTACKS
GEAR
If you do nothing else, do a minimal botting spoiler. That way, if you get sick or busy and cannot post, your GM can bot you.
Hmm

I'll have you know that Sara is incredibly Charismatic, and adorable, and not just a little bit vain! Hmmph!

You make your own with the [ spoiler] tags.I have no idea how to do that or where to do it.
I'm so far behind the curve on this, it's not even funny.
You put all of that stuff in the big "About" text box underneath all the single-row text boxes.
So for example if you wanted 2 spoilers, one for My Secret Stuff and one for Other Secret Stuff, inside that "About" text box you'd do two spoilers like this (replace the curly brackets with square brackets):
{Spoiler=My Secret Stuff}
.. and then put some stuff in here...
{/Spoiler}
{Spoiler=Other Secret Stuff}
.. and then put some other stuff in here...
{/Spoiler}
If you ever forget what's what, just click on the Show button next to How to format your text (down below where you create a new post) and you'll see all the standard bbcode markup you can use for various text effects.

You and me both, bro. I'm so used to table top and I'm just as confused on things. We'll get through this. We have great teachers who are very helpful & patient.

Hey all, think of the ABOUT section of your profile as a big, blank piece of paper. On that big, blank piece of paper, you can type in your character sheet.
When I am GMing, I usually don't care what format my players use so long as all the information that I need to see is there.
So... if you want to see exactly how Pip is formatted, check out this Google Doc.
Now, I am saying that you don't have to be that complicated. But if you want to compose a character sheet, make a google doc and compose it there. If you try to compose it on Paizo, chances are good that you will lose all your text when the forums misbehave.
You can choose to keep your formatting simpler.
Just write up section headers in ALL CAPS and then put important information under each header. If you want help editing your character as a google doc -- let me know. I could probably help a little.
Then when you are done, you can copy your text for your character sheet into your ABOUT box for your character profile.
Does this help?
Hmm

easiest thing is just start building your character and put spoiler sections around each area as you go.
[] these brackets are in front [/] and these behind with inside the first set [spoiler=feats] or whatever you need...[spoiler=skills]
etc.
or cut and paste the PFS sheet in and fill out gradually.

The GM hasn't been here since Wednesday. I think this game may have been cancelled. Good luck and stay healthy, folks.
Hold your horses, people. Numbat doesn't just abandon games and silently disappear. Your GM is alive and kicking - just has a lot to do now, and is having to organize a ton of online stuff in the Era of the Virus.

It's too early to assume cancellation. I've already offered to Numbat to take a table.
Hmm
It's PbP, man, let's just take a breath and give folks some time!

It seems it's easiest to copy & paste the stuff on Pip's google doc into our About section, then replace everything with our info.
If you want to, there's nothing stopping you from doing that, but there is also no need to have your sheet look exactly the way anyone else has it. As long as some basic, necessary information is there, that's all that matters, and you can always add to it and tweak as time goes by.
I guess what I'm saying is: don't obsess about it. It will be ok.
How do you get the stars with dotted lines and the solid horizontal lines that split the sections?
The star is a Unicode character (U+2605 BLACK STAR). The Unicode standard for character encoding encompasses a massive set of characters including symbols as well as the more 'conventional' alphabetic characters and other display components of human languages that people use to communicate around the world.
The solid horizontal line can be achieved by repeatedly using the underscore '_' (on standard US keyboards, this is the shifted character that shares a key with dash '-' on the top row of the keyboard where the numbers are). The Google doc recognizes this common usage of underscores to draw a "line" and displays it as a single unbroken line, but it is actually multiple underscores.
EDIT: In case some of you are wondering who the hell I am and why I'm in here answering technical support questions, GM Numbat asked me to join this group to help out. I know Numbat from PbP and we actually have met in real life. Before the Virus, I GMed PFS2 and SFS in-person for the same local area that Numbat used to; though of course these days I only run online, via Roll20 and Discord.

Well, do you think it's worth it to start the massive (for me, anyway) task of typing the stuff for a character sheet from the template GM Numbat posted on page 2? I could work on that, I guess.
Sorry for leaving some feeling abandoned.
I did look in each day and while things were racing ahead a little faster than I had planned, I also knew that you were in good hands with logsig and Hmm providing guidance.
I am going to take a look at where each of you is with your character sheets and then decide if we split the group now or stay together for a couple more lessons.
If anyone is using Hero Lab Online as their character generation tool, please let me know here. I will then provide instructions on how to easily transfer all that information directly into your character sheet.

I used Pathbuilder. Is there a way to transfer that?

Hero Lab Online (paid) has an option that allows you to export your character directly into a BBCode*-formatted statblock that you can simply cut and paste directly into your character's About box.
Pathbuilder 2E (free, with paid upgrade for some minor add-on features) does not offer that option at the current time - to my knowledge, it only exports to PDF. You can export your statblock to PDF, then select + copy the statblock text out of the PDF, and format it manually by adding some minor bits of BBCode around it to pretty it up a bit. This would still save you some effort of typing.
*BBCode (short for Bulletin Board code) is the name of the markup language used for formatting posts here in the Paizo forums (and also in many, many other forums).

Err...that sounds pretty complicated. Besides, the Pathbuilder is on my phone. I wouldn't know how to transfer it to my computer. I'm just going to start typing stuff from that template. See you in a week!
We don't use the other blocks in the Profile at all, correct?

I don't know how to do the PDF stuff Lusinel was talking about, so I started typing.
I realized I didn't have to type it all, after typing a bunch in and not being able to save, and just copied and pasted from the template that GM Numbat posted earlier. Hopefully someone can tell me where to go from here.

Slides 16 through 22 cover the bulk of making your character sheet in the forum character profile. This includes slides 19-21 which discuss and demonstrate botting instructions.
Slide 23 provides instructions for copying information from Hero Lab Online for those that use it.

Everyone develops their own style for their character sheet. The most important thing is to have the information readily available for both you and your GM.
As a GM, there are many things that I don't mind being under spoilers but I become frustrated when I have to hunt and peck through many of them and can not easily find what I am looking for. It also slows me down.
Spoilers are very valuable to make a character sheet more readable and less cluttered but should be clearly labelled and not overused. (My opinion.)
You are likely to change how you format things as you gain game experience and discover what works best for you.
I suggest you start by making sure all your basic information is present in a readable form. Include basic botting instructions but don't go overboard (mine tend to be more complete and detailed than really needed). Add to them as you play and realise what you are posting the most and as you observe what would be useful or is used to bot others.
Ideally, none of us needs botting by others but life happens. I use my botting instructions all the time when I post. Copy and paste makes life simple. In part, because I use them regularly, I like to have my botting instructions toward the top of my character profile for easy access. This is reinforced when I need to bot someone as a GM, not having to scroll down to find them is a minor blessing.
Yeah, some people like to have things under a different spoiler for each header. I admit that drives me crazy as a GM. I like to be able to see the whole statblock in one go. I think that some spoilers are useful, though, and all I care about is that the information is clear and useful.
I really want to see a botting spoiler.
One more thing... the easiest way to get special characters is to copy them. So if you like my stars and dashes, just copy them into your own doc. I sometimes do searches for things like "musical note text symbol" in google and then copy what I need into my post.

Ok group. Im trying to wrap my head around something and receiving conflicting information...
here- https://www.reddit.com/r/Pathfinder2e/comments/dg40xj/the_definitive_guide_ to_pathfinder_2e_for_1e/
it says this...
Your proficiency bonus is based on your rank in the relevant check: Untrained, Trained, Expert, Master, or Legendary. If you are Untrained, your proficiency bonus is a flat 0. The bonus is your level +2 for Trained, +4 for Expert, +6 for Master, and +8 for Legendary.
but elsewhere I read it was
Untrained -2
trained 0
expert +1
Master +2
Legendary +3.
what is it?
