I'm prepping for an upcoming Carrion Crown campaign in Pathfinder 2E and plan to share my work here. We'll be using the Fast advancement speed and will likely have 6 brand new/mostly new players.
PC Rules
As the players are all fairly new, I'm expecting they'll start with mostly classes from the Core Rulebook and common character options. I did grant them access to the Uncommon ancestries/heritages of dhampir, duskwasker, aasimar, and tiefling from the Advanced Player's Guide however, with the caveat that any of these may attract unwanted attention.
