Inexorable Steel Magus player here. I see that of the some people replying to this thread haven’t experienced optimization and party synergy to be all that important in PF2E. I’d like to add that this is *very* dependent on the GM in question.
Most of me and OP’s experience in PF2E have been with a GM that really, really gets into a tactical headspace, with plenty of Severe encounters, and they regularly run the NPCs in a pretty ruthless manner, with ability synergies and sound tactics. We’re used to every combat being potentially deadly, and we do have experienced multiple TPKs.
This campaign will be under a different GM, so it might not be as deadly as previous killer campaigns, but these experiences have certainly shaped the way we approach character building and party composition.
