essential tools for Pathfinder second
0:01
edition players because Pathfinder is
0:04
published under the ORC license which
0:06
makes it freely available to use the
0:08
rules to redistribute them to build
0:10
things with them. There are a lot of
0:12
really really great tools available for
0:15
Pathfinder second edition and all of
0:17
them have the full rules of the game in
0:20
them. So it's not like D and D Beyond
0:23
where you have to pay $50 a book or
0:24
whatever. You get everything generally
0:27
for free. Sometimes there's like a pay
0:30
wall for extra features or something,
0:31
but there are a lot of great tools. So,
0:33
just the absolute basic must-have tools.
0:36
First, you're going to get Foundry.
0:38
Foundry is the best tabletop in my
0:41
opinion for Pathfinder Second Edition.
0:43
The integration is absolutely fantastic.
0:46
There's a ton of community plugins that
0:48
support it and make the game experience
0:49
a lot better. We actually have a video
0:51
up on YouTube where my podcast co-hosts
0:54
go into Ash's favorite foundry mods and
0:57
we started using them after they
0:59
recorded that video and sincerely
1:01
fantastic, best play experience I've
1:03
ever had in VTT. Beyond that, obviously
1:05
Archives of Nethis, that is the go-to
1:07
place for the Pathfinder rules. They are
1:09
the official partner with Piso to get
1:12
the rules content live as quickly as
1:14
possible, but it's it's still a thing
1:16
that people do in their spare time. And
1:18
so generally the rules will be up like a
1:20
month or two after they actually hit
1:22
shelves. So there's small delay, but the
1:24
rules content is all there completely
1:26
for free forever. For character
1:28
building, you can build your characters
1:30
straight in Foundry once you have all of
1:32
the plugins set up and everything, but
1:33
it is kind of frustrating in my opinion.
1:36
Uh so I will generally start with
1:37
characters in Path Builder and then
1:39
import them using a plugin called Path
1:41
Muncher. So, Pathbuilder is a free
1:45
website and mobile app for building your
1:47
Pathfinder characters. If you pay for
1:50
the premium version, you get access to
1:52
some additional features which cover
1:53
things like familiars and stuff. I use
1:55
it enough that I pay for it, so it's
1:57
it's absolutely worth it for me, but
1:59
even the free version is pretty great.
2:01
Um, there's a mobile app on iOS and
2:04
Android. The iOS version just came out a
2:06
couple of months ago, so it's still very
2:07
fresh, very cool. Um, but yeah,
2:10
honestly, just those three is really
2:13
enough for what you want from a typical
2:15
Pathfinder play experience. Foundry for
2:17
your virtual tabletop, Archives of
2:19
Nethis as your rules reference,
2:21
Pathbuilder to start building characters
2:23
and then import them into Foundry and
2:25
then maintain them and level them up
2:28
from Foundry because reimpporting them
2:30
is kind of a
