[QUOTE="Thomas Shey, post: 8902814, member: 7026617"] Sure. This is primarily directed at people who are used to PF1e, D&D 3X or D&D5e. If they go in blind, they're liable to be unpleasantly surprised. This is particularly true with the former two (which I'm more familiar with) because you can't really bake a cake in character generation and advancement and then play them on autopilot. The fact the encounter balancing actually works, the character generation and advancement really only gives you so much ability to completely bake a cake, and the game assumes a certain degree of engagement are simply things that may bring you bad places if you don't account for them. Your reaction is, in the end, a way of accounting for them (though some people may find it unsatisfactory because they're used to certain kinds of opponents being, effectively, pushovers--and those aren't going to be the ones they're up against if they're fighting pushovers; they'll be ones that more obviously should be).
