The sheer number of options is the best thing about Pathfinder. It's also the worst. (europe.pub)

A meme screenshot from Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Sabrina is surrounded by people handing her several plates of pancakes, far too many for one person to reasonably eat. Sabrina is labeled, "me making a PF2E character." Each plate of pancakes is labeled one of the following: "spells," "backgrounds," "feats," "subclasses," "class archetypes," and "other archetypes."

I cannot recommend the Pathbuilder app enough. It narrows everything down to the available options based on what you've chosen so far, without taking the option of house ruling away from you.

    Just keep in mind that cross-referencing options with Archives of Nethys is also super important. I've had 2 players build overly complicated characters and needed a ton of help to unbork them simply because they didn't read anything before making a selection

    It's not available yet on iOS (though an iOS port is in development). You can find it on the web at pathbuilder2e.com. Mobile and web apps don't sync, though. The paid versions allow you to save characters to Google Drive, which you can use to sync them.

    Okay, cloud saving, custom items and companions for a single payment of 4.50 EUR. But you can completely disregard the rules and freely give skills, spells and feats with the free version. The app is very well maintained, gets updates at least monthly. They were so fast with the implementation of the remaster. I'd love to gift the app to people in my group, who are struggling a bit more financially, but Google doesn't have a functionality like that unfortunately.
