When you’re making a character, do you prefer to start with the mechanics, backstory, or aesthetics first?

    Mechanics. Pf2e is inherently tactical, and I like looking at a funky archetype or class feature and building around it. Backstory usually comes naturally when choosing what feats to take, and aesthetics usually result from that.

    I’m curious to see how this correlates to the play style of people though. I come from the other side of the GM screen, and I think that’s influenced how I build my characters.
