Tarondor's Guide to the Pathfinder 2e (Remastered) Guardian

Here is my new Tarondor's Guide to the Pathfinder 2e (Remastered) Guardian

Holy hell, we went so many months without and now we get two in short order? Woohoo! Love your work and as an amateur GM trying to teach my players the system, these guides are indispensable. There are so many classes, especially Thaumaturge and Exemplar, that I cannot wait to see.

You’ve made a guide for almost every class I don’t play so they’re extremely clutch for when I GM for my players that do. I thank you for saving my butt many times when I’ve needed to quickly learn about a class I know nothing about.

Excellent as always!

(I was wondering if you might update your other Remastered guides as new multiclass archetypes become official. I'm curious about your thoughts of Commander and Guardian archetypes on a Fighter, for instance)

Awesome! Glad they help. I wanted to make sure I covered the basic classes before moving on to anything else. Besides, they're what I almost always play.

I get asked this a lot. The answer is "probably, but not yet." Redoing the old stuff feels like being stuck in the past. Like being Sisyphus rolling that stone up a hill. It's more fun to do stuff I haven't before, and learn new things. Currently, I'm working on a guide to monks, because I didn't know that much about monks and wanted to learn.

I am definitely going to revisit wizards and clerics, since they've had some pretty huge additions lately. But not yet.

I haven't really looked at the Commander at all, class or archetype. And I was deep into the Guardian for a long time, but definitely haven't looked at the archetype yet.

EDIT: Hmmm... I guess I have examined the Commander, for the archetype when I wrote the Guardian guide. I think I'd have the same rating and comments for a Fighter with the Commander archetype as I did for a Guardian with the Commander archetype. And I'd remind you that unless you have a Free Archetype, Fighter has really great feats and doesn't need an archetype to be awesome.

Same note here, Tarondor! Remove the AI or we can't keep it on our forums!

A truly splendid guide from a truly splendid GM! My Jotunborn Guardian is proving a major headache for my GM trying to murder all my squishy friends and it's absolutely your fault. Thanks!

Fantastic Guide! Though I would like to add an addendum to Spirit Warrior and even personally suggest considering it a little more worth while. Your Guide says that you can not use a shield and must one hand the weapon, but there are no actual restrictions implying that you must have a free hand. It says "You're wielding a one-handed melee weapon or a melee weapon with the agile or finesse trait;" which means that Sword and board Guardians get a lot of value out of Overwhelming Combination.
Additionally, Kaiju Defense Oath may make it Blue for small ancestries like say a Dragonscaled Kobold if your BBEG or Boss is size large. More damage is more damage after all
