My coverage of Pathfinder 2e's character creation continues! Here I analyze why Pathfinder 2e's approach to characters is great and what other systems can learn from it. I go over the historical problems in D&D/PF1 that I think PF2 addresses. And I say that abandoning 3e/PF1 multiclassing was necessary and a good thing!
