[QUOTE="!DWolf, post: 8101793, member: 7026314"] I have run many systems in which theater of the mind is default and I am good at it. And I have run multiple combat encounters in PF2e in theater of the mind with low numbers of monsters and characters (and in fact prefer to do it that way in those instances since it saves a lot of time making maps and messing with minis). The three action economy and flanking work well in theater of the mind. Movement and AoE is a little trickier but can done with good narration using environmental reference points. Because of my particular players I would hesitate to do large intricate combats without something to reference position (I don’t necessarily use a battlemap, just something so the players can know roughly where the characters are) - but it can be done. What the game won’t do is teach you how to do theater of the mind combat. Like at all. If you already pretty good at it (or work to become good at it ) and you have the correct players, then you should be able to run it theater of the mind. [/QUOTE]
