[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 8153737, member: 12731"] No it isn't. It's unscientific guesswork. One theory is based on the particulars of the edition, one isn't. No, you don't get to characterize anecdotes as "data in the field". It's a huge stretch to interpret people's experiences as "moderate encounters are noticeably easier on the players in AoE than in AoA or EC", which is what you are effectively saying. It could just as well be that you're listening to a particular voice which went into the first AP as naive beginners but into the third AP as hardened veterans. That's just more useless speculation of course, but my point that such a "data point" would be irrelevant to assess the veracity of my main claim "a 5E player new to PF2 will have a quite rude awakening, and that this is probably caused by the inflexible CRB guidelines". So far you haven't taken a single step closer to actually discussing the specifics of Pathfinder 2.
