Thought you guys might want some news on PF2e.
There's no automatic dump stats like Charisma anymore (Charisma mainly doing nothing on it's own besides boost it's skill which every other stat does as well for their own skills) as it now governs your Resonance (used for attunement to magic items and using wands and stuff).

400 XP for each character.
Also, Neo got a kick out of knowing I gave you guys a CR5 encounter because you destroy everything.

So why are we so strong anyways?

Because Pathfinder is a heavily unbalanced system and the CR for a lot of monsters is really off.
Like a Banshee should be CR18 at least but is CR13. There's also That Damn Crab which is CR2 (I think) but is actually strong enough to be like a CR8.
Plus it just depends on a lot of random factors. Is the enemy a swarm, incorporeal, etc. Incorporeal with certain parties is almost impossible to deal with. Same with Swarms. Or flying enemies. Or flying Incorporeal Swarms.

Sorry, the crab I was talking about was 3.5e, not PF. But there's also things like Pugwampis which become nightmarish paired with something stronger.

I was giving examples of enemies because lots of creatures are over CR'd as well.
And some creatures just suck against a given party. And some classes/archetypes are ridiculously broken, like the Gun Chemist Alchemist or the Exploiter Wizard.

Everything sucks against our party.

Throw a Shade or two at the party and test that theory.

Birb, Lurk. Suggestions for Oracle multiclass/Oracle prestige classes? Trying to think of ways to make Oracle a little more fun to play.

I would just stick with it. Most spellcasters start pretty dull and get more and more fun as you level up.

In Pathfinder, stick with it. Look at what feats and stuff you can get. Spellcasters at levels 1 and 2 are pretty bland due to few options. They quickly get much more fun. Think about Metamagic and whatnot. Here's a guide I found that could give you some ideas: docs.google.com/document/d/1WdtrZCESRmVfljXY196wMrMLTnS8Uzk4DEk3oQdVZok/edit?hl=en_US#Don't worry about optimization though. Oracle is already very good out of the box. The only way to really screw yourself over is to only learn bad spells. |

However, if you don't mind losing some of your Spellcasting and want some more physical powerful and stuff, you could take a few levels of Paladin.
Oracle/Paladin is a very popular build in that it has the term Oradin for it. People usually take it because a Life Oracle and Paladin together make an amazing combat medic, but it's still useful for a blaster and face.

Are we going to be doing on-screen stuff in Asakawa? And if so, how much? Need to know ASAP, cause GX and I have to figure out map stuff.
