I know this one is RP strong, but does that mean the combats will be easier when they come up?

Absolutely not.
We don't really vary the difficulty of combats overall between APs, nor do we really vary the amount of roleplay elements. What's different about Jade Regent from most other APs isn't the amount of roleplay or difficulty of combat, but the fact that it's a travel-based AP, that it goes to some new regions and continents, that it includes a caravan management/combat element, and that it has a lot of recurring significant NPC stuff (including rules for managing relationships, be they rivalries or friendships). Those last rules might make it FEEL like there's a heavier RP element in the AP, I suppose, but they're really just putting rules to something that might have helped in any previous AP.

Good to know, thanks. :)
