Apologies if this was already posted... but where can we find maps and other tactile items for this adventure? I am planning to buy all the books but I would like to have other items (such as maps) to help with GM preparation and running the game.

That is how Pathfinder 1st edition did it.

Pathfinder 2nd edition tries to get away from adding an excessive amount of bonus damage to an attack. Even things like Power Attack add extra dice rather than adding a fixed amount of damage.

Very helpful! Sounds like we should consider the standard to be +1 striking, unless otherwise noted.

I was leading some new players through the beginners box this weekend and we had some confusion about how to treat the +1 Short Sword.

Should it be treated with +1 to hit and damage? Should it be +1 to either hit or damage?

Same question for the Smoking Sword. Should this be treated as +1 to hit and damage with an additional +1 fire damage?

To me, it seems that +1 is indicating plus to both hit and damage.

Is there a general principle we can consider to help new players understand how to treat these magical bonuses?
