[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 8386971, member: 12731"] If you need to leave the combat system to escape, that is equal to saying you can't escape at all, for to us it feels like cheating. And if you do run it by the rules, the risks involved with escape are great. After all one hero must be the last one to leave. But if many monster are able to focus their fire on a single hero, that hero drops. PF2 combat is just not geared towards allowing escape: Either the fight is sufficiently easy that you indeed are able to escape - but then it is sufficiently easy that no escape is needed. Or the fight is challenging... so that the few fights you do want to run away from are precisely those you can't run away from. Possible exception: a single BBEG. It all comes down to the action economy, and by running away a monster force consisting of only one monster will likely only be able to make one attack (which the covering hero should be able to soak), compared to a monster force of, say, four monsters.
