Pathfinder 2 is a game with very detailed instructions on everything from building encounters to a certain level of difficulty to exactly how much loot to give out (and much more). Yet the game curiously offers no advice at all on how many encounters to expect a party to be able to take back to back, how many 10 minute breaks would be reasonable, the number of encounters per adventuring day and so on... The game is completely silent on this issue, despite it having a potentially bigger impact on how difficult an encounter is perceived to be than any other subsystem!</blockquote>
