I am converting the first book of this AP as a fun introductory adventure to 2e, and so far everything is going great. The doppelgängers are brutal against 1st level characters but I wanted to highlight how much more fun solo creatures could be and it is working great. One question I have is: should I give these ex-doctors the medicine skill? So far I have been able to have them hit and run pretty well and I can’t decide if they should be able to heal themselves or not

I think Oathsday is the only one to have really been a doctor, so perhaps she'd be the only one for sure to have the Medicine skill. I'm slowly converting this as well, and am just getting to this area of critters. Scaen got away but I'm not having her quick heal, so she's laying low. Picking Oathsday's abilities was fun as there is no Mesmerist class in 2e so I felt free to pick and choose what felt interesting. She would definitely be trained in Medicine.
That is a good call. I gave oathday a one action daze spell.
Unicore! Do you happen to have any tips or guidelines for the conversion? I'll be starting it in a couple weeks, plan to use the current half-conversion in the discord as a basis but I wanted to know if you had any cool tips or resources?
Sorry Grankless, My players really wanted to go with something that was more silly and light hearted fun, so we switched from Strange Aeons to Extinction Curse after they defeated Oathday.
The gritty survival horror was largely being ignored and I wasn't really comfortable seeing a campaign set in a mental health institution turned into frivolous, mean spirited joking. The players are all old friends that are using PF2 to reconnect from around the country, so it just seemed easier to change the setting than to try to fight them about trying to take NPCs seriously when they were looking for an opportunity to goof around and not take anything seriously. The circus just made a better setting for that.
Ahhh. Completely fair. (and why I plan on having the inmates not be hostile...)
Best of luck with that!
Nothing wrong with doing that! It's working smarter, not harder.
And I'm mostly just in the brainstorming stage right now. I know I"m gonna make Cassilda be one of the players' witch patron, for instance. Personally I"m excited cuz I can use cool enemies that aren't just ghouls with how fun 2E enemies are.
Maybe there should be a different thread for this? Who knows.
