Hi guys, I posted before on Pathfinder General Discussion (as seen here: Thread), but the good people there recommended that I post here, so here we are.

Remembering, I want to try some mock combats to better learn (or remember...) the rules, as, even though I still have the grasp on the basic things, some details elude me. So, if you guys can help me, it would be very appreciated.

Hey everyone, how's it going?

My group played some Pathfinder 2e quite some time ago, but we ended up craving something other than medieval settings and the campaign died, but now everyone is into high fantasy again, so we will get back to it, hooray!
Unfortunately, we will go back to play it only at the end of october, so I wanted to use this 'free time' to familiarize myself again with the system. I’d like to run some fights, create small scenarios to see the rules in action, and get used to the details.

My idea is to have fights between creatures from the Bestiary, but here comes my first question: are the monsters balanced to fight each other? I remember this was a big issue in D&D 4e, but I haven't seen anything immediately problematic in PF2e.
The second question is: is it allowed to do this here on the forum? Is this the right place? It wouldn’t be exactly a Play-by-Post, but more of a combat showcase to get feedback from the more experienced folks here.

Thanks.

Hi, guys! Finally I convinced my players to change from that other RPG to PF2! Unfortunatelly, since we decided to keep the campaign and characters, we have 5 and 6 level characters thrown right in the eye of the storm (figuratively speaking, of course, but no first level tutorial fights for us!).

They are having a blast, but, as it was expected, we got a truckload of questions, some of what I'm putting here:

First, about grabbing and grapple. What is the difference? Both impose flat-footed and immobilized to its target. Also, when you are grabbing someone, are him grabbing you too? Example: the party monk was messing around with a Shambler, and it grabbed him. Is the shambler flat-footed for the rest of the party? Also, the wizard threw a fireball at them, does the monk get to make a save to mitigate the damage? Still about shamblers and grabbing, can the shambler move with the monk grabbed? Can it throw him? We ruled that, to move, the shambler had to "shove him", but the Fortitude DC was 2 points lower, as if flat-footed applied to it. There is an official rule on it? Also is the monk flat-footed to the shamblers attacks, or only for other's attacks? If no, then what is the point in grabbing?

Second, the wizard was ambushed by a ghoul, it got him by total surprise, succeeding in its stealth check. How does should we handle it? It is first in the combat and that is it? It gets a "bonus" round and then the round is handled normally? It gets only an action and then the round is handled normally?

Thanks in advance and sorry for my broken english.

Hi, guys. I know that there were many topics about monk stances, but all of them are old (2+ months old), and they don't answer my questions, so... here we go:

When a monk enters a stance, like Wolf Stance, does:
1st - He still can make Flurry of Blows with the Wolf Jaw attack??
2nd - Does it counts for Stunning Fist?
3rd - Can he uses Wolf Jaw in a reaction where he could use an unarmed attack?
4th - This attack benefits from magical runes from a Handwrap of Mighty Blows?
5th - Can he flurry Wolf Jaw attacks and "normal" unarmed attacks in the same round?
6th - He must use all keywords in the Wolf Jaw attack? More specifically, it must be a nonlethal attack, or can he use his "Powerful Fist" class feature to do lethal damage with it?

Thanks in advance, and sorry for my broken english.

Hi guys, my group finally bought Pathfinder 2e, and, as I will GM it, I'm reading the book and building a character to better understand the rules.
I'm making a Champion, a Half-Elf Champion (Paladin) of Iomedae.
One of the class features is "Devotion Spells", and reading it I understood that now I have one focus point, sweet! But, what spells do I have? Should I choose one from her domains? I start with all of them? None, in which case, I need to take the "Deity's Domain" feat?
I'm a little lost, so please help me! And sorry for the really newbie question!
