Spell Slingers Academy: Spellcasting & the Pathfinder 2e Remaster
39Hello Travelers & Tourists!
Recently, Paizo released a preview document for the upcoming Pathfinder 2e Remaster, and while it covered a wide variety of topics, one area that is generating a lot of conversation is around the changes that are happening with Spellcasting!
Since Spellcasting is actually one of my favorite elements of Pathfinder 2e, I wanted to take some time & share my thoughts on the changes: What I'm excited to see, what makes me nervous, & some of the opportunities that these changes may present!

These changes have sparked a lot of debate, and regardless of if you agree or disagree with my opinions, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the issue! Since this is a topic that has generated some controversy, I just want to encourage you to remain amazing & be mindful of the others involved. I do believe that this conversation has the potential to be a positive influence on Pathfinder 2e & gaming as a whole.
