Pathfinder Society is a worldwide fantasy roleplaying campaign using the Pathfinder Second Edition ruleset. Take on the role of an agent of the Pathfinder Society, a legendary league of explorers, archaeologists, and adventurers dedicated to discovering and chronicling the greatest mysteries and wonders of an ancient world.
The Story So Far…
During the Pathfinder Society’s first year following the devastating return of the Whispering Tyrant and his undead hordes, agents from across the Inner Sea and beyond banded together to reclaim lodges, recruit new members, and restore knowledge and information lost to time and disuse. As Pathfinder agents worked together to reclaim lost stories from their organization’s distant past, they also concluded a long-running diplomatic foray with the Absalom kobold civilization known as the Sewer Dragons, while finding new friends in the iruxi nation of Ekkeshikaar, the hobgoblin nation of Oprak, and the Iobarian leshy community.
The Society’s many adventures and discoveries resulted in a climactic battle in the jungles of the Mwangi Expanse. In overcoming a powerful monarch of the First World and their fey minions, the Society gained control of an ancient demiplane and discovered one of their own inside: founding member of the Pathfinder Society and half-orc adventurer of legend, Gregaro Voth. With Voth’s unique historical perspective and a resounding victory under their belts, the Pathfinder Society set their eyes on another adventure: founding a new lodge in the haunted ruins of the northern subcontinent known as Iobaria.
What began as an exciting foray into the ancient forests and ruins of Iobaria quickly turned disastrous, as one of the Society’s leaders became possessed by a malign spirit and vanished into the wilderness! With the assistance of new allies, the Pathfinders enacted a daring ritual to track down their missing leader. In the process, they discovered a terrifying demon lord trying to force its way onto Golarion. They mustered all the strength they could to confront the demon lord amidst a ruinous firestorm, finally forcing it back to its Abyssal realm.
With the Pathfinder Society’s recent efforts focused on confronting dangers far and wide, new threats arose closer to home. Before the Society has even had a chance to celebrate its recent victories, a series of troubling correspondence from across the Inner Sea flooded the Grand Lodge—mysterious events threatened several of the Society’s lodges, all at once! In dealing with these disasters, the Pathfinder Society eventually learned that an old nemesis was responsible for coordinating the attacks. In a dramatic confrontation, the Society prevented their nemesis from absconding with a vast hoard of magical treasures. Now, it’s up to the Society to learn the secrets behind these treasures, discover why their nemesis wants to get her hands on them, and prevent her from enacting her evil schemes!
With a trove of mysterious treasures and a powerful villain lurking in the shadows waiting to snatch them back, the Pathfinder Society launched into a year of study and research, determined to find the link between the strange items and what their enemy might be planning. New friends and allies were discovered while the Pathfinders fought back against the army of their night hag enemy’s changeling children. In a climactic battle across two planes and within the deserts of old, the Society was finally victorious and able to put a stop to her villainous machinations! Now, the Pathfinder Society turns to their original creed, vowing to explore the world and discover the unknown with a strange member of their leadership at the helm!

Character Building Sites & Applications

This is a premium character building tool with a toggle for official PFS2 content, but it can get expensive. The advantages are the ability to print out pdf copies of characters and their gear and spells with descriptions of them. Players can also export their characters build on HLO to the Foundry VTT.

This is the web browser version of the Pathbuilder 2e Android mobile application. You can download the app at Google Play. There is not an Apple version. This app is very widely used, but does not have a PFS2 legal toggle. Users can pay a small fee to gain access to printing out characters.
