Class(ic) Introductions: The Inventor [Pathfinder 2e]
33Hello Travelers & Tourists!
Welcome back to Class(ic) Introductions, a series where we examine what different classes in TTRPGs have to offer players at the gaming table! Today, we're taking a look at a unique class for Pathfinder 2e: The Inventor from Guns & Gears!
This class focuses on pushing the Crafting Skill & comes with a unique technological "Innovation" that serves as your core class mechanic. In this video, we will examine this class through the lens of our seven core questions:
1) What is the Class Role of the Inventor?
2) How Complex is the Inventor?
3) What are the Key Terms & Concepts to know when playing an Inventor?
4) What are the Inventor's Strengths?
5) What are the Inventor's Weaknesses?
6) What are the Build Options (Subclasses) for the Inventor?
7) How can I "Get the Most" from the Inventor in play?
