Feel those weak soldier's sword bounce off your shield harmless, do a combo as a rogue with a teammate that one-turns a captain, have the cleric heal the entire party back to full health with one spell , the wizard wading into the midst of melee and then bonking people's head just for the hell of itThat's the rubs, it has anti-appeal for me. Sure an attritional few sessions can be a nice pace-breaker for me but I dislike it in my fantasy SWAT team action game as a baseline.. And Pathfinder still very much has it with things like <a href="https://2e.aonprd.com/Curses.aspx" target="_blank">curses</a> and <a href="https://2e.aonprd.com/Diseases.aspx" target="_blank">diseases</a> but they're rarely used for a reason, an occasional spice rather than salt and pepper.Pathfinder doesn't need long-term effects being common because the combat itself is rather intense, crit failed saves and critically hit attacks flying all over the place in encounters. We got naughty word like <a href="https://2e.aonprd.com/Monsters.aspx?ID=3037" target="_blank">Lesser Death</a>  here for monster that's way more dangerous then what--Also personally I dislike low-level gotcha/crippling monsters since those levels in both 5e and PF2 are way too fragile and lacking in tools</blockquote>
