Switching from DnD 5e to Pf2e Ressources (lemmy.world)

Hello, for the last 3 years I’ve been running a Dnd 5e campaign, due to recent events with wotc we’ve decided to stop supporting them and switch to of 2e. Are there any good resources for switching? I’m under the impressions that some systems are similar while others are completely different.

Does something like a switching guide exist or is it best to just start from scratch and learn as we go?

One big difference between DnD and PF on a more meta side is that all the PF rules are legally FREE! Only the lore stuff (Lost Omens) and the adventures are copyrighted, but the rules, character options, monsters, etc are all FREE!

You can read everything on here: https://2e.aonprd.com/Rules.aspx

And this is a nice free character tool: https://pathbuilder2e.com/

In a nutshell, Paizo wants you to play their games, while WotC wants you to pay their games first of all.

Thank you for the resources, on the topic of character creators and editors. Is there one where you can generate a campaign and the players can create them in there? Best case would be if I could disallow some races as they wouldn’t really fit into the setting like skeletons. It would be amazing to import them automatically into an encounter tracker but I guess that’s asking too much ^^

Is there something like encounter+ though for iOS as I run the sessions from my iPad?

Pathbuilder has this option, look for Campaign Management in the hamburger menu
