I was looking at the Magaambyan Wizard build (20.3.9). Bit confused as to how you are taking Halcyon Spellcasting Adept without taking Halcyon Spellcasting Initiate. Am I missing something? New to pf2e.

Just wanted to ask a quick question about the guide in section 23.2 Maximizing Dexterity you say :

"A beginning wizard is trained in Unarmored Defense, which means that their Armor Class is equal to (their level)+12+(Dexterity Modifier). So for instance, a wizard with a +0 Dexterity Modifier will have an Armor Class of 22 at 10th level."

I thought armor class was calculated by AC = 10 + Dex mod + proficiency bonus + armor’s item bonus to AC + other bonuses + penalties. Wouldn't the wizards AC be 13 at level 10.

Sorry if I am missing something I'm new to 2e.

Your proficiency bonus is 0 if untrained, level + 2 if trained, level + 4 if expert, level + 6 if master, and level + 8 if legendary. (See p444 of the CRB.) A 10th level Wizard is trained in unarmored defense, so their unarmored defense proficiency bonus is level (10) + 2 = +12.

Oh okay I missed the whole level part. Our group just moved from 5e to pf2e so things are a bit confusing.
