Me (DM) and my friends will be trying out the beginner box this weekend. There are 2 players and myself as the DM.

Is there anything we should do before we play? We’ve played D&D 5e a couple times but this will be our first go at Pathfinder.

Thank you!

    The great thing about PF2 is that it gives really clear instructions on how to modify encounters for different numbers of players. That said, two players will be a bit of a challenge just in terms of available skills. The BB is designed to leverage the skills of the four pre-gen characters, so missing certain core skills will make certain encounters very difficult. The other option would be to have each player run two characters, but that might be a lot for new players.

      While the encounter building rules are definitely robust, they aren’t necessarily straightforward for modifying an existing encounter in a published adventure. Especially not for a beginner who hasn’t played the game before.
