Pathfinder 2e is known for having a working encounter balance system, where a monster's level accurately tells you how much of a challenge it will be... except when it doesn't! Here are the top 5 glaring exceptions!

I don't use the GM Core's advice for starting combats where some creatures are hiding. This is what I do, and why!
The "instigator" is always first in initiative, and people can't "lose their stealth" when combat starts. I go into it more in today's vid!

My overview of the new 2nd Edition of Starfinder RPG! It's fully compatible with Pathfinder 2e and (if the table is open to it) massively expands what you can do with Pathfinder. With SIX classes: Envoy, Mystic, Operative, Solarian, Soldier, Witchwarper!

21:42 Reacting to Bob World Builder
... community concerns - I did this stream/video because I was worried that the video I respond to would make DP feel they didn't have to.
04.07.2025 16:20 — 👍 5 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 04. I learn during this stream that DP has said they have heard the community's concerns and suggested there will be changes when they release a Homebrewing Kit for Daggerheart. I'm happy they are, and hopefully this video helps ensure they make changes addressing ...
04.07.2025 16:20 — 👍 5 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 03. I make specific comparisons between Darrington Press' GCL and other companies' licenses post-OGL crisis, which do not have similar problematic provisions.
04.07.2025 16:19 — 👍 5 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 02. Yes, I have seen the Roll for Combat stream where they say that people are overreacting to the license as well. I respond to it at 9:13, and welcome people to see it.
04.07.2025 16:19 — 👍 5 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0In an effort to stave off premature comments:
1. No this is not worse than the OGL scandal, however the license is objectively worse than what Hasbro currently publishes D&D under and can be revoked/revised for future works and updates to previous works at any time.
"Lawyer: The Critical Role/Daggerheart license IS a scandal... that can be avoided."
I bring up concerning issues in the current license, and react to Bob World Builder's video saying that some of us are overreacting to it.
