I know I'm part of the problem because I'm bad at trying new systems. I'm a creature of habit, and I've started with 5E dnd, so thats where my knowledge is. But to be fair, thats the largest player base (I think), and has the most support and tools. I should look into Pathfinder more, though! Especially because I don't trust Hasbro and WOTC to not pull more corporate bullshit to get more money... like they ever stopped
You can read the Pathfinder book and just use the tables associated with equipment ... Pen & Paper RPG is wonderful because you are not limited to one book/system, you can pick what pleases you from different sources, it does not matter for the "not metagaming" playersx
Check out the Pathfinder starter box. It comes with a 2 level adventure (my group is probably going to get 4 sessions from it, not counting session 0). It has 4 premade characters as well as rules to create your own.
It took me so long to try Pathfinder because I started with d&d (not ad&d second edition) and have been playing 1st and 2nd edition since the 80s. But I am so glad I made the jump. I am getting ready to run another 5e campaign for some friends that started playing d&d because of Baldur's Gate.
Thanks! I'll give it a try!
Check out !pathfinder@ttrpg.network too very helpful group in there.
