Btw just in case anyone else following me was considering making the jump from dnd 5e to pathfinder 2e (for no particular reason. Looks at camera), I wanted to share as someone who's recently done this that I can honestly really recommend it as a system - obviously it depends on your tastes, eg if you don't like crunch then it's probably not your vibe cause it is a fair bit crunchier than 5e, but personally I've really been enjoying the extra options, particularly the character creation and the three-action turn system are really fun to work with and the latter solves one of the big problems I had with 5e which is feeling like you're "wasting" your one action doing something with a higher risk/reward than just making a straight attack (if 3 actions sounds like a lot dw the game is balanced for this), so if you want to do something that's a little weird there's more opportunity for you to try stuff out and not feel like your turn was pointless
I also prefer how it handles heritages (case in point: heritages, not races) and their worldbuilding seems a lot more varied in its sources than dnd, if a little chaotic as a result, so if you have a 5e group who'd be up for something a bit more mechanically varied I would recommend giving it a go - there's some free oneshots out there that are a fun time
One of the main problems with the game I've found as a gm is simply the lack of community content for it bc the player base is smaller so it would be cool to see more people giving it a try!
