How would you rank the classes by complexity or difficulty of play?
How would you rank the classes by complexity or difficulty of play?
There was a thread with the same title on that other site, but it was 2 years ago and there are 6 new classes in the game since then along with all the other new content and changes in meta thinking. And like the OP of that thread, I have players new to Pathfinder (and others new to TTRPGs), some of whom have expressed an interest in those new classes.
So, how would you rank the classes in terms of difficulty of play, as well as in terms of how much work they take outside the session?

Nonat1s just did a tier list/compass meme video on this topic: https://youtu.be/EqyJHxXXoyQ
He ranks Oracle, Alchemist, and Summoner as being hard to play, and Fighter, Barbarian, and Champion as fairly easy to play.

Hmm. 🤔
Nah but seriously, thanks for the link. That was a really interesting video. I went ahead and watched a bunch more of that guy's stuff too.
Lol I think what I should've said is that I just watched it recently. Although I don't think any classes have been released since he published that particular video. I also discovered his channel fairly recently abd have been watching a lot of his videos lately.
The Rules Lawyer is also pretty good, though his delivery is a bit drier.
I've been watching everything he's put out since the OGL crisis. Do you know if he's got a video on the subject of complexity?
I do not know, sorry. I just wanted to point him out in general as he is my other go-to on YouTube.
Though there is a third that might be useful for your players to understand certain parts of the system. Frizz is the name.

He does short, generally very focused videos. I know you are converting your whole group, so I figure a bit of extra help could be useful.
Wow, I've been watching a heap of his stuff over the last few hours. It really is excellent!
