Pathfinder Solo Playtest

I played my first game of Pathfinder tonight.  Having come from a D&D background, and having read all versions of D&D, the transition wasn't so bad.  I have forgotten how heavy the rules are for these games.  There's basically a test for everything you want to do.  But from my group gaming days, we tended to ignore stuff that got in the way of the story.  So, I did the same here!

Meet Taka the 1st level human monk.  I'm trying a "Bourne Identity" type of opener here.  After this premise is established, I'm going to let GME determine the rest of the story.  I bought the Pathfinder Inner Sea World Guide to use as a setting.  I plan to have Taka wander those lands and discover them along with me.

I also did this session completely paper free!  I'll detail that set up in another post.  But it was quite a liberating experience.  However, my PC was cluttered for sure.
