Whenever I go to build PF2E characters, why can I only pick 1 pre-chosen Archetype?
Can you explain a little more about what’s happening and where you’re running into issues exactly?
Rules as written you can only pick a single archetype until you’ve taken two feats from your current archetype. So that might be what you’re running into. Otherwise what archetypes are you seeing and what do you mean by pre-chosen?
Yes, whenever I’m using the character builder inside Demiplane, each class is only given a single archetype to choose from. So, unless you’re telling me that rules as written only allows one specific archetype per class, I want to know why the Demiplane app will not allow me to build characters with the archetype of my choice and is this a technical issue that will be addressed in the future?
Hey edgarkraven. I think I figured out the problem you’re running into. If you’re looking at Class Archetypes you’re correct in thinking there’s only one available. This is because a Class Archetype is a specifically different way to play that class and not all classes even have one yet. I’m going to post two screenshots below, the first is showing the Class Archetype available for Oracle and the second will show that Alchemist doesn’t even get the option to select a Class Archetype.
Now, what you might actually be looking for is the regular archetypes that essentially work as a way to multiclass. Those are unlocked at level 2 and start with a Dedication Feat. There’s a toggle available under your class feats to show the Dedication Feats. When you select that it will show the archetypes available and if you meet the prerequisites for them.
Let me know if you’re still running into trouble with this.
