Class Comparison Chart

[markrivett]

Is there a resource anyone knows of that evaluates class strengths and weaknesses in a relatively simple way?

I'm moving through the Beginners Box, but want to give my players a simple tool for evaluating what class they would like to be for a longer campaign.

Something simple like a 1-to-3-point scale or 1-to-5-point scale for general concepts like toughness, damage, combat control, healing, skills, and versatility for each class.

Thank You

There is kind of a series on Reddit, "Class summaries for new players".
e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/Pathfinder2e/comments/12147av/pathfinder_class_sum maries_for_new_players_pretty/

The most up-to-date i could find, which inlcudes Kineticist, is located in a gdrive share:

check this page. On the class guide page, there is a helpful guide by captain Morgan, maybe that has some help.

Yeah, I debated the kind of numbered scales, but ultimately its pretty subjective and not that important for newbies. Like, sorcerers can be great healers... But only if they pick a tradition with heal. Also, classes are closely balanced enough to where you don't really have to worry whether a fighter or a barbarian deals slightly more damage.

Instead, I tried to highlight how each class plays and their level of complexity, which is a really important metric for newwbies.

Kinetisist in particular can be built many different ways.

Healing, defense, support, movement, forced movement, blasting, single target damage... Choose 2.

But other classes also have a mix of options.
