I'm playing a Ratfolk Investigator with Vigilante archetype. His name is Furlock Rolmes, with his Rat Familiar Ratson. His alter ego goes by Ratman, with his trusty sidekick Ratbin!

For people actually trying to figure out what to play: Dont focuse on the "Favored class" part, because in PF you can play as what you like as what ever ancestry. There is a reason why you first choose a ancestry, background and THEN the class you can take 2 panelties to gain one bonus, so you can still get a 18 in any stat you like

I thought the answer was always full Leshy party?

"While they seem a bit random, all of the feats fit right in with Goblin Culture. From singing annoying songs to lighting things on fire." - Beautiful. Thanks for the great overview.

Literally anything you want, it's fantastic

Dwarves: “Did I hear a rock & stone?” *Deep Rock Galactic intensifies*

Fire Elemental Goblin Sorcerer - His ancestors loved fire so much, they found a way to fornicate with it!

I made a sexy beautiful goblin who's also an Angel (literally, her father is an angel). I love the versatile heritages.

Thanks to youtube for sponsoring this video, as well as this comment!

My biggest problem is fighting the urge to kill my character off so I can start an new one! All of these heritages are amazing!

Looking forward for Orc and Beastkin deep dives when you get to them. I've got an idea for a character, but I'm still learning the system and it'd be really interesting to get other takes on the ancestry/heritage mechanics

Been really enjoying the Ancestry Paragon variant rule, to be able to get more ancestry feats for your character. It makes their ancestry more relevant to the character itself.

Who's the best boy? I am. I'm the best boy! Shoony!

This game makes it hard to start games. I keep rebuilding and trying out new builds. One day I'll leave the tavern

ROCK AND STONE, BROTHER

The fact that you didn't list Swashbuckler as a Favored Class for Goblin is a affront. DEX + CHA which is very good for them, Unbreakable Goblin giving them 10 HP and with it's feat combined with that nets you a bonus to Tumble Through and reduced fall damage for when your class and race's penchant for hijnks leads to you falling inevitably. Plus you're a goblin styling on fools as you flip around. It's pretty much the optimum race for Swashbuckler and that's hilarious.

The Lost Omens Ancestry Guide added some neat feats for Tengu that let them cast spells through a Feather Fan. When they do so, they can use their Class DC instead of the normal spell DC. Which means Tengu fighters, barbarians, and Champions can cast spells that get better as they get stronger (literally).

I was looking through the channel's video backlog while listening to the youtube plug... The 'When it works' bit got me good. It's funny because it's true....

Your video about halfings inspired me to create a jinxed halfling rogue for our upcoming campaign. This video and your last one about druids, gives me a fun idea for storm Druid tengu! Enjoy the videos!

What ancestry should you pick? Whichever one fits your character concept the best. Or kobold.

So many Ancestries to choose from, and yet all I ever do is play more and more Orcs from the notable Targutai family. Orcs for life, man.

Yeah yeah yeah, you already got my like, i've been subscribe for months, bell been rung, and look you even get my comment. Start the video already!

My favorite ancestry is lizard folk. (obligatory deep dive when statement)

One thing you forgot to mention is the optional 2 additional flaws to get one more boost. You can stack both flaws when applied to a stat boosted by your ancestry, so that STR boost that's not doing anything for your Orc Wizard? Turn it into a flaw and Boost Dex or Con along with Int. You can also stack free ancestry boosts as long as they're going into a flaw. Want a Dwarf sorcerer? Put optional flaws in Str and Wis and put both free boosts in Cha. Basically, you can't leave the ancestry step with less than 8 or more than 12, but the additional flaws option basically lets *any* stat be 18 on *any* ancestry, and you can just sacrifice a boosted stat you don't care about to get there sometimes (like the Orc wizard)

I’m so happy you’re doing regular content. I’m playing my first adventure ever in dnd like games and the gm set it in pathfinder 2e and I must say your videos are fantastically well made, fun and my favourite out there. Thank you! I’m playing a wizard now and next adventure will be a ranger and my only request would be to have more examples of what playing different classes looks like (in and out of combat) instead of the listing of skills. I also loved your spell list in alphabetical order- those videos help me a lot because you give your opinion. Thanks!

A important PSA Goblins again that is all

This is genuinely my favorite video of yours. It's really entertaining and you lay out the information in a really approachable manner. Really looking forward to Part 2.

Always glad to see a video from you

Talk goblin I’m here

Not gonna lie, you had me going with that sponsor bit for a minute, lmao

Hobgoblins all the way Nonat, so you can be a martial character and a healer and apply conditions without even taking a class.

Man I feel lied to there is no subscribe button it only says subscribed come on man better sponsors lol

Curious that you say that a Dwarf has one of the highest hit points, and then with the goblin say that with the right choice they can get their hp on the same level as dwarves. But forget to mention that an Orc can get to 12 starting hp with the right heritage.

"Kobolds don't like to be leaders and prefer to follow stronger individuals and serve as lower flunkies." "Kobolds get a racial bonus to Charisma..." Sure they do, Paizo.

As a DnD refugee this is FABULOUS!!!

I made a Human Fighter who got the Medical Researcher general feat so she's a Viking shieldmaiden battlefield medic for my first PF2e game upcoming on Saturday.

one thing I really like abou PF2e in comparison to dnd 5e is ability boosts form ancestry, you always have on free boost so unless ancestry have ability flaw in your key ability you can easily play any class without feeling punished, and with voluntary flaw you can still achieve 18 in your key ability (but in total you will have 1 ability boost less)

In 3.5/PF1e, I loved being a hobgoblin shifter druid. Would just always stay in animal form and make things bleeeeeed! Although I am tempted to give up DM duties so I can play a Leshy storm/leaf druid.

Ah, I see... my little halfling, friendship is magic.

oh man gotta love self sponsored video, always the best skits

You will use the ratfolk’s ancestry name, but not the Amurr? :P

Charisma as “force of personality”: THANK YOU. Charisma to me is all about protagonist energy. You can be a weak and frail dumbass and still manage to succeed by your force of personality on the people around you.

thank you for showing us your mistakes. they're very relatable XD

Rude man chase off bird. Clearly good bird, got hype for Kobolds. Bird was Kobold friend.

only character I have tried to make (still in progress) is a human rogue with half-elf heritage. using his ancestry feat to get elf atavism to get cavern elf. done. a rogue with dark vision and the versatility of a human. I'm sure there are better choices but, a half-elf rogue is something I would love to try on a real game.

I love your positive energy! Keep up the good work.

What Ancestry should you play? Yes!

I've always liked Gnomes. In both D&D and PF. I preferred when they were related to dwarves, but they are still my favorite folk.

These are very flavorful, I feel like more so than DnD. The culture and history can be seen in the feats

Great content NoNat. How about a video about what you think would be the *optimal* four player party?

2:20 ROCK AND STONE!!!!!

Shoony what can I say I'm biased as all hell and a pug race is a dream come true

I absolutly love hobgoblin, and they don't have the love they deserve (in the ancestry guide)

2:20 DID I HEAR A ROCK AND STONE?!

i am so keen on them bringing wyvernians back

one time i had a half-elf with elf atavism and ancient elf, it was a thing of beauty. having a dedication a level 1 saved a level2 feat. and the paizo forbade it.

I’m an alt-oholic. I can’t pick just one.

I have an elf fighter styled behind a samurai in Society. Not optimal but the move bonuses and theming have been a ton of fun. Although I can’t strongly dislike drow anymore

My personal favorite PF2E Ancestries are probably a Dwarf and a Human. I'm still learning the system, and I like Dwarves for their amazing Hit Points and a free Clan Dagger at Level 1, and Humans for their versatility and access to cool Half-Human Heritages (Orc Ferocity!). Dwarves also have a very special place in my heart due to some personal reasons.

This was awesome. Would like to see more.

2:21 Did I hear a Rock and Stone!?

If Catfolk did not get a boost to Cha, I would be very disappointed. Even as humanoids, I would want to pet every catfolk I see.

Halfling foot-merkins are definitely a thing

In 3.5e, one of the strongest chharacters I had was Halfling Barbarian. DEX based, with S&B, Power Attack. I had lot of HPs, high AC, great saves, I was extremely hard to kill.

11:05 I can only hear the bird when I put my headphones on. On my speakers, even when I crank the volume. I can't hear it over the sound of the fan on low in my room.

I can’t wait to build a Catfolk, maybe the birdthing, most excellent information

Got to love them little big buttons.

I heard your comment about making sexy beautiful goblins and thought "is that a thing." So I Googled it and yea, it's a thing.

1:58 FOR ROCK AND STONE

Great overview! Do the follow up video please

I haven't been playing long enough to say for sure, but I'm really liking my Half-Orc Champion. *The Glimpse of Redemtion is kinda broken lol

Now I must create Fivol from an American Tail and he's of course searching for his family having gotten separated on the way to this new world.

Best sponsor

Never go wrong with Elf for me, the perk of being able to be smug with short lived creature never gets old and I can never get enough of caster play.

The problem with having so many choices is you never get attached to your character. Building the character is 90% of the fun and the other 10% is trying it out. After that, your soon on to the next experiment. Instead of playing a generic character and building into.something amazing that is uniquely yours, your given everything up front with little reason to explore beyond advancing to the next level for more customization. This sucks as a GM because players are constantly adjusting and scrapping characters and there is very little you can do to reward your players for their achievements beyond leveling them. Sometimes less is more.

That "sponsor" though

My Man I’m sold dude I’ll sub 😂 You’re fuckin awesome

I have a dwarf monk focusing on Gorilla Stance and Athletics. It’s amazing, but the 20 speed is frustrating. Eyes on the prize, though. He will get much faster.

Great add, subbed :)

Literally anything i like

"Little big red subscribe button." I clicked it despite the contradiction.

Good stuff. Do the rest of the ancestries, please. :-)

" *little big* red subscribe button with a bell next to it" That's a way to phrase it. Also orc druids are great, you can bonk people on the head and take all the shaman/soothsayer feats and be all mystical and stuff

That bird did that to give you a DMCA notice!

Core - Goblin. Advance - Tied between Kobold or Rat. Lost Omen - Anadi.

I thought I was face shallow for a bit Because l can’t watch some KZfaqrs but then I realise it’s not the face it’s the voice ………🥳you’ve got a good one ☺️

the birb was a bard and was trying to use Inspire Competence

I usually go human or human-adjacent, like the half-elf heritage. When most people are playing zoofolk, being human is the unique choice.

My favorite ancestry was the birb on your balcony

Kitsune is my favorite

For me my top 3 choices are 1. Fleshwarp 2. Automaton 3. Catfolk Might have to revise once I have Sinclair’s because cow people!

The answer is Goblins. They are perfect in every way.

Half Elf Elf atavism (Seer) Adopted ancestry - raised by halflings Fey infused

I am about to play my firat pathfinder campaign, and I am considering A very brainy orc Inventor weaponmaster path. I am not sure on the background, but maybe Arrisan? Any thoughts or tips would be appreciated ^^

What are good combinations to create a Pathfinder version of a D&D Goliath?

I need a Leshy breakdown.

About one of your recommendations, everybody agrees with it but.. I don't know, I don't really like Goblins as Alchemists, I don't think it's very good, Goblins have a flaw in Wisdom and Alchemists have low Will Saves. Goblins have a bonus in Charisma, which is kind of a dump stat for Alchemists. Sure, there's Burn It! But that's just 1 feat, so I think it'd be better if you play a Halfling with Cultural Adaptability for that, or a Hobgoblin with Runtsage if you want something closer to a Goblin :) But of course that's just a personal opinion :P
