Concise list of Word / Abbreviations for 2e


Pathfinder Second Edition General Discussion

Grand Lodge

I am going to be helping some PF newbies set characters for their first PF module without pregens. I need a set of pages or a site that would help them with terms and abbreviations. For instance:

Armor DC: they know Armor class but not DC
PowerWords: different than spells?
Difference between Defence 12 and Armor DR 0 and Critical Defense +2
CMB and CMD
etc

I am trying to help them become more independent of me when they have questions.

There is a great list of Key Terms in the Core Book, you can find it on the Archives of Nethys here:

Go to Key Terms.

The other thing is that many of the terms you referenced are PF1 terms that do not exist in PF2. CMB and CMD for example are gone
