I suppose I’m used to really broken builds being accomplished even early on from previous 3.5e and PF1e experience which is why I gravitated towards potentially locking out other books. Glad to hear that isn’t really the case or needed for PF2e.

I will see if I can find a used copy of Menace/Troubles to read through or if all else fails check my local game shop. Maybe the library might….they’ve had 5e books before.

We’re all going into this expecting something different than what we’re used to and the re-balancing is going to be a big part of it.

I’m still reading through the core books myself to more familiarize myself with everything. I guess I’m just anxious as well as I want it to be a fun experience.
