Santa Claus PF2 Build - Rise of the Guardians

 Happy Holidays Everyone!

I rewatched Rise of the Guardians for Christmas morning and was inspired to revisit I did back in the playtest days. Below I made a build inspired by Nicholas St. North aka Santa from Rise of the Guardians movie and some reach into the books. If you like a better look at the sheet or use the build you can get that here (<-hyperlink). How would you build Nicholas St. North in PF2 or another system?

Here I used Ranger to Get two weapon fighting and focused on picking up Crafting feats to make toys and other magic items. I loaded him out with min gear and no real exploration on what he could build but plenty of left over gold for someone to explore that. Fighting style wise he a Two weapon combat!
