I'm new to Pathfinder (and by extension Pathfinder Society). I've spent the last couple days reviewing as many documents as I can trying my best to make a PFS character so that I can join play.
With that said, I have a few questions I'd appreciate clarification on:
First, to my understanding, a PFS character is largely the same as a standard character, but with some options having limited access, typically based off of rarity or legality. I'm fairly sure I get that. However, I'm unsure how schools and factions work: are they just choices I make for my character or do I need GM approval?
Where do I mark certain feats, features etc?
So, I'm migrating from 5e to PF2. In 5e, feats are just denoted and don't typically have select areas. PF2, on the other hand, lists its different categories to the side.
- What is a "Special" feat, and where does it come from?
- If I get skills and feats from PF schools where do those go?
- Should I note my free regional language separately or just add it to the sheet?
How do PbP/PbD games work?
Since my closest game store is... 2 hours away, I can't rely on being able to meet in person; however, I am still interested in playing and heard PbP and PbD is an option. I also prefer to purchase hard copies of the materials I use, as I find them more reliable and easier to use.
- Do I need digital copies of books and character documents to play PbP/PbD?
- Where can I get my first Chronicle?
- Where can I find a beginner PbP/PbD for a 1 hr or 4-5 hr session?
Sorry for the long questions, especially if they've been asked before and I just don't get it. Hopefully you all can help me though. In any case, thanks for reading thus far.
