PF2E FIGHTER BUILD PART 2: Basically Green Arrow With More Property Damage

The crew returns to finish building Pathfinder 2e Fighters, but first they must survive the true final boss of tabletop podcasting: technical difficulties, cursed spell names, mysterious bugs, and Tyler being physically defeated by his cat (again). Somewhere between Spider Missile, Bigby's Big Spider, and a cat-based sneak attack on the microphone cables, the episode remembers it is supposed to be about Fighters.

Show Notes

In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, we continue building Pathfinder 2e Fighters from levels 11 through 20, and the class goes from reliable martial powerhouse to legally questionable blender with opinions. Randall keeps chasing the dream of the biggest possible hit, Tyler builds a reaction-fueled control monster with a gnome flickmace, and Ash leans into the archer fantasy with trick shots, ricochets, and enough arrows to make every hallway a liability.

The discussion covers high-level Fighter class feats, armor and weapon proficiency progression, automatic bonus progression, ancestry feats, and the awkward joy of realizing halfway through a build that you should have planned for a composite longbow. Along the way, the hosts talk through why planning a Pathfinder 2e character to level 20 can save pain later, why Pathbuilder is a gift to society, and why high-level Fighters are so good at critting that some feats sound better than they actually are.

Also, Quorra the cat attacks Tyler's setup, which is probably the most accurate simulation of a Pathfinder encounter in the entire episode.

Key Takeaways

Pathfinder 2e Fighters become legendary with their chosen weapon group at level 13, making them terrifyingly accurate compared to other martial characters.
High-level Fighter feats can dramatically shape a build, from Whirlwind Strike and Overwhelming Blow to Impossible Volley and Weapon Supremacy.
Automatic bonus progression helps track expected gear math, including armor bonuses, weapon damage dice, and apex attribute boosts.
Planning a Pathfinder 2e build ahead matters, especially when weapon traits, feat chains, and ability boosts affect long-term effectiveness.
Archery builds can work well, but they require more careful feat and equipment planning than some melee Fighter builds.
Reactions become a huge part of Tyler's control build, especially with riposte options that punish enemies for missing.
Weapon Supremacy is a strong capstone because being permanently quickened for extra Strikes is exactly what Fighters want.
Cats remain undefeated against podcast equipment.
