Fall of Plaguestone Question: Juggernaut Mutagen Adjustments Already in Stats?

[Gregg Chastain]

So, the group I'm GMing will probably face off against Hallod this weekend. Do his stats already reflect the positive and negative adjustments from the Juggernaut mutagen that he takes in the first round? I know the 1e encounters and opponent stats usually included the modifiers from spells, etc. Is it the same in 2e?

It's a bit early for PF2 to have a policy, but Hallod's stats appear unmodified by the mutagen. The mutagen grants Temporary HP, while his stats list none.

I asked early and got no response. I reasoned not since it could be of the rails possibility he gets encountered in town before his boss location, and he probably would not be using it in town.

I hope the eventual policy leans to providing the unmodified stats of a creature/character. That begs the question -- isn't this an example of it being their policy for 2E, rather than it being too early to say?

They've specifically noted in various places that they don't have a general stat block policy yet in various ways (like whether enemies get listed with a Class). I was sort of assuming this was included.

But it could easily be the new policy as well, yes.
