PF1E v PF2E Grease Spell Area?

PF1E v PF2E Grease Spell Area?

PF1E Grease spell: Target Area = 10 foot square
PF2E Grease spell: Target Area = four contiguous 5-foot squares

Could the PF2E Grease spell area be a rhomboid/quadrilateral/"slanted square" instead of a simple 10 foot square?

Bottom line: is there room in the PF2E Grease spell for a different interpretation of the PF1E 10 foot square?

{I’ve got Tetromino/Tetris “squares” in my mind’s eye: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetromino}

Your thoughts?

I think it means that in PF2 you can choose the area of Grease to be a line, an L or square.

Yes and yes.

XX

is a 10' square (and also four contiguous 5' squares), the only PF1E shape

XXXX
is still four contiguous 5' squares, but is not a 10' square

XX

ditto (the rhomboid you suggested)

XX
oX
oX
is also PF2E legal, though not a quadrilateral at all

I would interprete PF2s area as "all Tetris shapes allowed"
