Someone posted on Facebook that he was trying to convert a PF1E character concept to PF2E and wanted to know how best to do it. The original concept was a scaled fist monk/draconic sorcerer. A couple of ideas were thrown about. Here's my quick and dirty shot at it:

Looks pretty on theme.
What would a typical turn look like for this character?
Good question, one I actually haven't thought about.
A cool think about this system is the character could even be made the other way around with Sorcerer as the class and monk as the dedication.
Its turns would look very different though, probably focusing more on magical movement spells, Demoralize skills, Breathing fire at earlier levels?
But sacrificing the accuracy and melee damage, fewer monk stuff and no flurry till 10th level.

Yeah, I went the way I did on purpose because Sorc with Monk Dedication doesn't really seem to me to fit.
This character is leaping all over the place dropping dragon kicks.
