Online PF2E Ability Score Calculator

[CanisDirus]

While helping a group of new players learn how to build characters and play 2nd edition last week, I was looking for online resources to assist (since there were originally going to be 4-6 players in attendance and only one me). Through reddit, I stumbled on this amazing resource, which was originally formatted for the PF2 playtest. I reached out to its creator, who just finished updating it for the PF2E Core Rulebook and gave me permission to share it with the PFS community.

I hope you find it helpful!

Oh god YES, this makes it so much easier! Like, adding 2s onto something is easy enough, but keeping track of which bonus you already applied is such a pain, thank you for sharing!

I forget how much I take Pathbuilder for granted until I see posts like this...that site is pretty nice, though!

Nice site, but I realized while trying to recreate my own character that they don't have Legacy Backgrounds.

Funny, though, that's the exact layout I use when statting up my own characters. I've heard people have trouble with it. How?

I've not heard of Legacy Backgrounds before. If you don't mind showing me where they are, I can add them in.

Thank you, they've been added in.

I never suggested the legacy backgrounds so that this builder would be society-independent. Also, because Missionz3r0 added in the ability to do "custom" backgrounds, I figured that would have covered legacy backgrounds without needing them being programmed in from the get-go.

It's basically the same character building process as Starfinder.

When I'm bored at work I'll fold up a piece of paper, draw a grid and stat out characters.

But I guess it's different if you're coming straight from PF1.
