I am working through the Transitions Guide (TG) and comparing the Ghoul in TG page 8 - 9 to the PF2e Beginner Box Game Master Guide (GMG) p. 70 to see how the Beginner Box and the Bestiary are similar and how they differ.
Can you please help me to understand Ghoul's XP 400 in the TG p.9? Is this the Ghoul's experience or how much experience I award to the players? If it is Ghoul's experience, how is that information used by GMs? If the XP award, then 400 seems very high to me given that the TG stat block says that it is a CR1, which I presume is a level 1 creature. Not knowing any better, I would have awarded 40 XP based on the fact that the GMG says it is a Creature 1?
Ghoul weapons stat comparisons:
Can you please help me to understand the math for the Melee Bite in the TG compared to BB? How does Melee Bite +3 convert to +9 in the Beginner Box?Thanks in advance. I am grateful for the help as I am new to Pathfinder and new to GMing. We got the PF2e beginner box for Christmas and are progressing through Troubles in Otari. I just got my core rule book and I am already looking forward to our next adventure.
The transitions guide is a pf1e product and not relevant to pf2e.
Pf2e (as the beginner box says) has exp that scales depending on level and based on the difference in level.
