The RAW gives wild morph both attacks at once, because thats how English works.
It doesn't though.

When using an effect like enlarge, or the giant barbarian instinct, what happens if you use it in an enclosed room, or surrounded by enemies or allies? Some spells like dragon form specify that if there is no room to enlarge the spell is lost, but enlarge and giant instinct have no such language, which implies that there must be some other resolution, but I’ve got no idea what it is.
Hi guys,
I didn't get the point regarding this skill: Learn a Spell.
For example: I'm druid Primal spellcasting. I have my book and I can prepare each morning the spells to use during the day. So, in which situation I can use the skill learn a spell, and how?

For a druid you'll probably most likely use it to gain access to uncommon spells.

Do you mean, that I can take spells from another tradition writing them on my book?

No, this isn't about other Traditions, Uncommon is a tier of spell commonality, above Common but below Rare.
So as a Druid you only automatically get access to Common Primal spells.You can cast Uncommon/Rare Primal spells if you Learned them, but you have to actually do that,
which requires either some ability that gives you that Access, or GM cooperation in finding scroll or NPC caster to Learn Uncommon spell from.
A Wizard is more likely to use Learn a Spell just because they can also use it to add more Common spells above and beyond their normal level allocation. (all of these spells they COULD have learned automatically at level-up, but the amount is limited, so they may want to Learn more) Of course, Wizards also can learn Uncommon/Rare Arcane spells if they manage to gain Access to them, which is roughly on par with how a Druid will use Learn a Spell with Uncommon/Rare spells.
This may not be 100% exhaustive, but here is quick parsing of Uncommon Primal spells via Archives of Nethys (listed with U in overview):
Detect Poision, Nondetection, Passwall, Tree Stride, Stone Tell, Plane Shift, Disjunction, Remake.

Many standard Divine spells have variant effects based on "Deity alignment" or Favored Weapon,
yet Divine Sorceror casting doesn't involve any Deity worship and they don't seem intended to have any mechanical linkage.
(even if a Sorceror happens to also have Multiclass:Cleric or Champion, the Deity only is mechanically tied to Multiclass)
While using Caster Alignment would be simplest, that doesn't match the flavor of Aligned Bloodline abilities independent of caster Alignment.
MY QUESTION IS:
Does any Deity a Sorceror happens to worship (despite otherwise not mechanically linked to Sorceror casting) impact this?
If not, should Divine Bloodline Sorcerors use an "effective Deity Alignment" for these spells based on their Bloodline?
(Angel:Good, Demon:Chaotic Evil, Devil:Lawful Evil, Undead:Evil?)
In terms of Favored Weapon the solution isn't obvious, it seems each Divine Bloodline needs to specify "effective Deity Favored Weapon"?
Or possibly a generic "effective Deity Alignment -> Favored Weapon" rule could be enunciated, although Bloodline-specific seems more flavorful...
In addition to those specific Bloodlines,
non-Divine Sorcerors with Crossblooded Evolution can cast Divine Spells and thus need to resolve "Deity Alignment/Favored Weapon" as well.
Seemingly, they need to choose a specific Bloodline's Deity Alignment/Favored Weapon to use, or use own Alignment? (+ "Favored Weapon"?)
I expect Oracle will have wording for this from start, as all Oracles are directly affected (unlike Sorcerors where Divine Tradition is only subset of the class),
probably using caster's own Alignment (with generic Alignment->Weapon linkage) at least if Mystery doesn't have Alignment or Weapon implication of it's own?
(coming from 1E, none or at least very few Mysteries seem to carry Alignment associations, but Mystery dictated Favored Weapons seem widely plausible)
Why does it appear that Aberrant and Fey sorcs get the shaft with the way their blood magic effects work with their bloodline spells and focus abilities?

A PC untrained in Crafting wants to upgrade their +1 weapon to a +1 striking weapon.
A +1 weapon is 35gp.
A striking rune is 65gp.
A +1 striking weapon is 100gp.
Is upgrading as simple as paying the difference (65gp, in this case), or are there other costs or requirements necessary for upgrading?
The two sides of this debate are, basically, either "Just pay the difference; nothing else required" or "There are other requirements for upgrading, including any combination of 1) hiring and paying an NPC, 2) purchasing formulae and tools, 3) waiting X number of days, and even 4) it is only possible to upgrade via Crafting".
Here are just four of the most recent arguments about this:
• Thread #1
• Thread #2
• Thread #3
• Thread #4
This needs an answer soon, as there are a lot of Pathfinder Society members arguing this one way or the other, and either way it's ruled there will be characters that need fixing.
Question: Is there a reason why the "Sustain an Activation" action doesn't have the concentration trait? The section describing sustaining activations starts with the sentence "Some items, once activated, have effects that can be sustained if you concentrate on them".
The "Sustain a Spell" action has this trait, so it might make sense for "Sustain an activation" to have it as well.
If not, the descriptive text at the beginning of the lead paragraph might confuse some players.
If I cast Magic Missile as a 9th level spell using all three of my actions and target a single creature does that produce 27d4+27 damage?

Heightened (+2) You shoot one additional missile with each action you spend.
By my math:
1st Level Spell = 3d4+3
3rd Level Spell = 6d4+6
5th Level Spell = 9d4+6
7th Level Spell = 12d4+12
9th Level Spell = 15d4+15

Okay, I'm feeling particularly blind. Is there a damage increase from welding a weapon in two hands compared to one hand in PF2 like there was in PF1 and 3.X? The 1.5x Strength bonus.
No. Generally, if you can't find something that was in PF1, it means it's gone. Ditto AoOs for everyone, concentration checks etc.
Darn. That makes me a little sad, but thank you for the answer.Okay, I'm feeling particularly blind.

There are specific weapons that are usable one-handed, but increase their damage when wielded with two hands.
Do you get retroactive new trained skills if you boosted your INT later levels? As CON boosts still seem to have you "catch up" to the expected HP total...

Yes, you do.
If an ability boost increases your character’s Intelligence modifier, they become trained in an additional skill and language.
Scroll? Potion? Wand?

The only difference Lethal/Nonlethal means in P2 (aside from Resistances and Immunties) is whether it's the final hit to take someone down. You don't track 2 different HP tracks like in P1.
Nonlethal is a modifier to the damage, Mental is the type of dammage.
I have searched and searched but cannot find where the rules say only the last strike/hit which is non-lethal counts. Can you give me chapter and verse of where that idea/rule is presented in the game please?
Thanks
Nifty

Creatures cannot be reduced to fewer than 0 Hit Points. When most creatures reach 0 Hit Points, they die and are removed from play unless the attack was nonlethal, in which case they are instead knocked out for a significant amount of time (usually 1 minute or more). When undead and construct creatures reach 0 Hit Points, they are destroyed.
Is there an archive where we can find which of these rules questions were answered on stream? My questions were asked in the first page, but I can't find an official text ruling, and Twitch's past broadcasts are a nightmare to navigate.
Just for the sake of repetition:
Do the free-hand-maneuver line of Fighter feats (Snagging Strike, Combat Grab etc) conflict with Dueling Parry's requirement to keep a hand free?Do combat maneuver Athletics actions still use Strength for Athletics when used with a finesse weapon like using a whip to trip, or a rapier to disarm?
Ooh, hadn't thought about how actually grabbing someone would fill that hand! Hmm...

When playing a barbarian in Pathfinder 2E, does taking Fury instinct immediately give you Raging Resistance or must you still wait until level 9?
------------------------
On page 87, there are many different Instincts we can pick for our barbarian; “Giant Instinct”, “Spirit Instinct” and “Fury Instinct”, just to name a few.
If we select Fury Instinct for our character, we gain 3 benefits:
1. Anathema and Instinct Ability
2. Specialization Ability
3. Raging Resistance
I realize that Raging Resistance is also offered at 9th level as a Class Feature on page 85.
It would appear that since Raging Resistance is listed in two seperate places; as a Class Feature and as one third of an Instinct, there must be two different ways to gain Raging Resistance: Either selecting it as an Instinct at any level or waiting until 9th level and gaining it as a Class Feature.
