Tables#

pathfinder2e_stats.tables reproduces a variety of tables from the Player Core and GM Core manuals. All tables are either DataArray or Dataset objects with at least an integer level dimension, plus extra table-specific dimensions.

PC tables#

PC#

These tables let us calculate a typical baseline of the various bonuses for most common Player Character (PC) builds for each level.

For example, let’s use them to calculate the attack bonus progression of a typical Rogue as they gain levels, not counting any temporary buffs/debuffs they may have:

import pathfinder2e_stats as pf2

rogue_atk_bonus = (
    # Start with DEX+4 at level 1 and always increase it
    pf2.tables.PC.ability_bonus.boosts.sel(initial=4, drop=True)
    # Get an Apex item at level 17 for +1 DEX
    + pf2.tables.PC.ability_bonus.apex
    # Upgrade weapons as soon as possible: +1 at level 2, +2 at level 10, etc.
    + pf2.tables.PC.attack_item_bonus.potency_rune
    # Trained (+2) at level 1, Expert (+4) at level 5, Master (+6) at level 13
    + pf2.tables.PC.weapon_proficiency.rogue
    # Add level to proficiency
    + pf2.tables.PC.level
)
rogue_atk_bonus.display("attack bonus", transpose=True)

PC.skill_proficiency#

Skill Proficiency bonus, not including level. This table assumes that important skills are Trained at level 1 and then they are increased at every possible occasion, in order of importance.

Coordinates:

  • level (int): PC level in the range [1, 20]

  • priority (int): [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]; smallest is highest. E.g. Priority 1 is the one that will be increased first.

Data variables:

  • envoy (level, priority) (int): Skill progression for Starfinder Envoys.

  • rogue (level, priority) (int): Skill progression for Pathfinder Rogues.

  • others (level, priority) (int): Skill progression for all other Pathfinder and Starfinder classes.

  • spellcaster_dedication (level, priority) (int) Skill progression for a class other than Envoy or Rogue with a Spellcaster dedication, who needs to make room to satisfy the Prerequisites for Expert Spellcasting by level 12 and Master Spellcasting by level 18, and the skill associated with the spellcasting dedication has the lowest possible priority (3) without delaying feat acquisition.

Notes:

  • This table does not cover suboptimal choices, like sacrificing the increase of a skill to Expert in order to get an extra skill at Trained.

  • As classes other than Envoy and Rogue can only maximize 3 skills, priority 4, 5, and 6 are padded with 0s for them due to the design constraints of xarray.Dataset.

SIMPLE_PC#

Because adding up all the components of a PC’s bonuses can be tedious and error-prone, the variant tables SIMPLE_NPC make a bunch of (opinable) choices for you, presenting you with just the total.

pf2.tables.SIMPLE_PC
Available tables:
  • area_fire_DC
  • class_DC
  • impulse_DC
  • impulse_attack_bonus
  • spell_DC
  • spell_attack_bonus
  • weapon_attack_bonus

For example, we can rebuild our rogue’s progression from before much quicker (but with less control):

SIMPLE_PC.weapon_attack_bonus#

Typical total bonus to weapon strikes, by class and level.

Coordinates:

  • level (int): PC level in the range [1, 20]

  • component (str): Breakdown of each bonus, for debugging purposes. You typically want the total of all components: pf2.tables.SIMPLE_PC.weapon_attack_bonus.sum("component")

  • research_field (str): Alchemist subclass

  • doctrine (str): Cleric subclass

  • mastery (bool): Superior proficiency of fighters and gunslingers in some weapons

  • category (str): [martial, advanced]. Use martial for simple weapons and unarmed attacks, as well as for advanced weapons with ancestral weapon familiarity.

  • ability (str): Ability used for the attack bonus (STR or DEX). Only used in classes where it makes sense to have both.

Data variables:

  • alchemist (level, component, research_field) (int): Attack bonus for the Alchemist, by subclass

  • cleric (level, component, doctrine) (int): Attack bonus for the Cleric, by subclass

  • fighter (level, component, category, mastery) (int): Attack bonus for the Fighter. On/off mastery is presented side by side; this can be useful e.g. to Double Slice with a sword and shield. It is assumed that the class ability, the apex item, and all weapons are either STR or DEX.

    category="advanced" is for Advanced weapons without ancestral weapon familiarity; it is assumed one takes the level 6 feat Advanced Weapon Training to boost proficiency. Everything else should fall into category="martial".

  • gunslinger (level, component, category, mastery, ability) (int): Attack bonus for the Gunslinger:

    • mastery=True, ability=DEX: firearms, crossbows, and finesse melee combination weapons. Uses apex item.

    • mastery=True, ability=STR: other melee combination weapons (not finesse).

    • mastery=False, ability=DEX: finesse melee weapons (not combination). Uses apex item.

    • mastery=False, ability=STR: other melee weapons (not finesse, not combination)

    category="advanced" is for Advanced weapons without ancestral weapon familiarity; it is assumed one takes the level 6 feat Advanced Shooter to boost proficiency. Everything else should fall into category="martial".

  • operative (level, component, category, mastery) (int): Attack bonus for the Operative:

    • mastery=True: guns.

    • mastery=False: other weapons (finesse if melee).

    category="advanced" is for Advanced weapons without ancestral weapon familiarity; everything else should fall into category="martial".

  • (class name) (level, component) (int): Attack bonus for all other Pathfinder and Starfinder classes

Assumptions:

  • Martial classes dedicate their best ability boosts (+4 at level 1 whenever possible) and their apex item to boost their STR or DEX

  • Pure spellcasting classes use their second-best ability boosts (+3 at level 1), but reserve the apex item to improve their spellcasting DC

  • Alchemists, Maguses, Inventors, Investigators, Thaumaturges and Envoys use their apex items to boost STR or DEX (at the expense of their class DC / spell DC).

  • Kineticists and Soldiers start with 3 boosts in their attack attribute (either STR or DEX), but reserve the apex item to improve their CON.

SIMPLE_PC.spell_attack_bonus#

Typical total bonus to spell attacks, by class and level.

Coordinates:

  • level (int): PC level in the range [1, 20]

  • component (str): Breakdown of each bonus, for debugging purposes. You typically want the total of all components: pf2.tables.SIMPLE_PC.spell_attack_bonus.sum("component")

  • doctrine (str): Cleric subclass

Data variables:

  • cleric (level, component, doctrine) (int): Attack bonus for the Cleric, by subclass

  • (class name) (level, component) (int): Attack bonus for all other classes

Assumptions:

  • Pure spellcasting classes use their best ability boosts (+4 at level 1) and an apex item to improve their spellcasting DC.

  • Martial classes take up all the feats of a spellcaster archetype and use their second-best ability boosts (+3 at level 1) for the spellcasting ability.

  • Alchemists, Inventors, and Investigators choose an INT-based spellcasting dedication, to benefit from 4 boosts at level 1.

  • Thaumaturges and Envoys choose a CHA-based spellcasting dedication for the same reason.

  • All but pure spellcasters reserve their apex item to boost STR, DEX, or CON. This choice is coherent with the weapon_attack_bonus table.

  • component (str): Breakdown of each bonus, for debugging purposes. You typically want the total of all components: pf2.tables.SIMPLE_PC.impulse_attack_bonus.sum("component")

Data variables:

  • kineticist (level, component) (int): Attack bonus for the Kineticist

  • kineticist_dedication (level, component) (int): All other classes through the Kineticist Archetype

Assumptions:

  • Other classes are expected to dedicate their second-best ability score (3 boosts at level 1) to CON.

  • Only pure kineticists use their Apex item to boost CON.

SIMPLE_PC.impulse_DC#

DC for Kineticist impulses, by class and level. The difference from SIMPLE_PC.impulse_attack_bonus is not a flat 10, because there is no gate attenuator available.

NPC tables#

NPC#

All tables from the Building Creatures chapter of the GM Core.

Coordinates:

  • level (int): NPC level in the range [-1, 24]

  • challenge (str): [Extreme, High, Moderate, Low, Terrible]. Several tables don’t have all challenge levels; when missing the values are padded with zeros due to design constraints of xarray.Dataset.

  • limited (bool): Limited or unlimited use

  • mm (str): [max, min, mean] values bracket

  • rarity (str): [Common, Uncommon, Rare, Unique] creature rarity

Data variables:

SIMPLE_NPC#

Very frequently, when simulating a PC’s effectiveness in combat, one does not care about the full gamut of combinations offered by the NPC tables. pf2.tables.SIMPLE_NPC offers a simplified variant of it where a player is only offered three targets. In this table, the level coordinate is the player’s level instead of the creature’s level.

The three targets are ordered along the challenge coordinate:

SIMPLE_NPC challenge

NPC challenge

Creature level

mm

rarity

Weak

Low

Player level - 2

min

Common

Matched

Moderate

Player level

mean

Common

Boss

High

Player level + 2

max

Uncommon

These are considered typical interesting targets. There are notable exceptions which are not covered by this table; for example:

  • Oozes and zombies have notoriously extremely poor AC, so Deadly and Fatal weapons will display a peculiar damage distribution;

  • You may be faced with an extreme boss (party level +4) and target their best defenses; this is a sadly frequent situation e.g. for martial characters who didn’t invest in anything other than their attack bonus, or spellcasters that didn’t differentiate their saving throws. In this situation, the target DCs will exceed the ‘Boss’ challenge of the SIMPLE_NPC table.
