Let's say you have a rogue using a flaming shortsword, and he does a sneak attack. After hitting, he does his damage rolls and does 5 piercing, 4 fire and 3 precision damage. Are these damage types treated as separate instances in regards to immunities, weaknesses and resistances? Or are they combined into a single damage instance with multiple damage types, meaning one damage instance of 12 piercing/fire/precision damage?

The former seems to make a lot more sense, but I don't see it explicitly called out anywhere in the books. The only thing I can find that implies multiple damage types should be treated independently is in the Resistances section:

"It's possible to have resistance to all damage. When an effect deals damage of multiple types and you have resistance to all damage, apply the resistance to each type of damage separately. If an attack would deal 7 slashing damage and 4 fire damage, resistance 5 to all damage would reduce the slashing damage to 2 and negate the fire damage entirely."

Now, if we treat it as a combined damage instance, this means that if the rogue is attacking an enemy with precision immunity, the attack would deal 0 damage, since the instance has the precision type.

This has interesting implications for Thaumaturges. Let's say the thaumaturge used Personal Antithesis to grant a creature weakness 5 to it's strikes. If the strike is doing multiple damage types, which damage type does it apply the damage to? The Personal Antithesis feature doesn't specify, just that they have weakness to your strikes. RAW, I would think this means that the weakness gets applied to each damage type separately, given that we are treating them as distinct damage instances.

There are also interesting implications for Double Slice when using weapons with different damage types. How can they be combined if they are different types?

Reading the first part of the book, it's not really clear how far outside of town the players are supposed to start. Given that the section talks about events that happen at different times of day, it sounds like they are supposed to be a significant distance from town, but it's pretty vague. The only thing we know is that we are somewhere east of the river, but it's not clear how far east.

I am not sure how to parse this part of Ren Mei Li's influence stat block

Influence 4 Lady Ren becomes annoyed that the PCs
are ruining her game by being so influential. Each PC
should attempt a DC 24 Diplomacy check. If no one
succeeds, she casts outcast’s curse on a random PC;
failure at the Diplomacy check results in her casting
outcast’s curse on the attempted diplomat instead.
If the PCs attack in response, proceed with “Parting
Ways” (page 42).

What happens if 1 player succeeds and the rest fail? Does she cast the spell 3 times? It seems like this is a worse outcome than having everyone fail, in which case she just picks one target at random.

I am creating a wiki in the strengthofthousands subreddit to act as a reference guide for GMs running the adventure path. I am wondering what I would be allowed to add to the wiki from the adventure path that would fall within the fair use guidelines. I am mostly wondering about things like character portraits and other images from the PDFs.
