Pathfinder 2e

Just as your character’s ancestry plays a key role in expressing their identity and worldview, their class indicates the training they have and will improve upon as an adventurer. Choosing your character’s class is perhaps the most important decision you will make for them.

CLASSES

Your character’s ancestry determines which people they call their own. A character’s ancestry and their experiences prior to their life as an adventurer—represented by a background—might be key parts of their identity, shape how they see the world, and help them find their place in it.

ANCESTRIES

The peoples of Golarion are many, and they have a long history of intermingling. The inevitable offspring of these mixed unions share physiological features with both their parents, manifesting as a specific heritage.

HERITAGES

There are infinite possible character concepts, but you might find that the feats and skill choices from a single class aren’t sufficient to fully realize your character. Archetypes allow you to expand the scope of your character’s class.

Welcome to the Pathfinder Battlecry! Class Playtest! This playtest presents two new classes for Pathfinder: the commander and the guardian.&nbsp;
The commander is a battlefield leader whose clever use of tactics can turn the tide of any fight. They deploy abilities called tactics that grant allies extra movement or bonus actions if they follow certain orders.
The guardian is a defensive combatant who focuses on squeezing every lost drop of protection from their armor for themselves and their allies. The guardian can intercept strikes meant for other characters and taunt foes to draw their attention.
The commander and guardian will appear in an upcoming Pathfinder sourcebook scheduled for Summer 2025. We haven&rsquo;t announced this book yet, but rest assured that it will be full of character options for similarly martial-minded characters!
