Ok, I can see your point, but you're using invalid examples. Fire resistance potions exist. A ritual that grants fire resistance exists. Your character can get the best armor and take armor and defensive related feats and get magic items that make your AC much higher than the other PCs, and...

It really is amazing how important perception is. Just by changing the words "encounter" and "daily" to "short rest" and "long rest" respectively, you'll be more likely to attract players. It is pretty interesting that PF2 seems to have gone the at-will/encounter/daily (or unlimited/short...

The sheet is too busy. The colors are awful too. They need to re-do it ASAP.

The goblin scuttle ability is certainly a bit reminiscent of the 4e goblin's racial ability. It's not identical, but they're both off-turn actions in reaction to a trigger that allow the goblin to move 5 feet without provoking attacks.

Seems to be working fine now. Compendium was a little sluggish for a moment though.

I'd like enemies in PF2 to either not use PC spells (I guess not happening) or condense spell information in enemy stats so that I, a GM, don't have to refer to a separate spell entry to resolve the effects.

Dragon shamans and dragonfire adepts are people with dragon magic. 5e has the draconic bloodline sorcerer, so that's covered. 3.5 hexblades use curses, so do 5e warlocks.

Could the hallway be less narrow? Would it be possible to have 2 parallel entrances into an encounter space, which could be used to flank the opposition? Would it be reasonable for the enemies to take defensive positions in the room, possibly readying attacks or taking the total defense...

I think this is spot on and sometimes missed when discussing skill challenges. Interesting failures are incredibly important when implementing skill challenges.

But what happens when you're down to 0-1 surges, and the party has yet to make their way out of the enemy territory to safety?

The hex crawl part through the jungle was too monotonous. Every day the same checks. I'd make the whole experience more abstract (in terms of resources) and varied. Some folks are saying that the death curse is too imminent, that they want to see more of the jungle. But honestly, the large...

Minion is a metagame concept, it's not an actual, quantifiable thing in the fictional world. It's like hp, AC, level, or a saving throw bonus. I just tell the players which enemies are minions.

Unfortunately there are no swarm-making guidelines in any of the books as far as I know, but then again, I don't think there are any comprehensive guides on creating enemy leaders or soldiers and so forth. Personally I've simply adapted existing swarms to suit my needs, or taken a trait or...

3.5 rules assumed the use of minis and a grid. Says right there in the rules. First page of PHB I think.

The simplest option would probably be to adapt Dark Sun's arcane defiling to encompass all the power sources you want, and to cause the damage to the caster only. Perhaps make it compulsory, and extend it to encounter powers (but with a lower benefit and reduced cost, maybe just a +2 bonus on...

Indeed. In fact, there are paragon level ogres in published 4e sources represented as minions, yet ogres also exist as heroic tier enemies classified as standard monsters. Another good example is the nalfeshnee demon; early epic standard monster, but also a late epic minion (as part of a demon...

I'd say it's a one time effect since it says "any ally". If it said "an ally", I'd rule that every ally could benefit from the power once.

For those that like the simplicity of levels 1 and 2 but dislike the lethality (some new players could be put off by a sudden death into the first session), there's an easy fix for the problem: at 1st level, characters add Constitution score to their hp total, not Con modifier. It's the way 4e...

Yeah, I think so. Sharn is really big, more like Sigil than your typical fantasy metropolis. Even though Waterdeep is the FR city, it's still more grounded and less bombastically fantastical than Sharn.
