Context: There was a typo on Archives of Nethys where the Bristle Boar was marked as level 83, and if you know anything about Pathfinder’s scaling you know exactly why that is hilarious.

What makes it even better is that it was Paizo’s offical account that posted it:

    A natural 1 on an attack roll is an automatic miss in Pathfinder, isn’t it? Your modifiers don’t matter if you keep rolling automatic misses.

      Just downgrades the results a step, so it’s Oops, All Hits rather than Oops, All Crits.

      Not in Pathfinder 2E!

      There are four possible results to a roll:

      • Critical failure
      • failure
      • success
      • critical success

      Natural 1’s and 20’s are not automatic misses or hits, they only move you down or up a step in the result.

      if your modifier for a statistic is so high that adding it to a 1 from your d20 roll exceeds the DC by 10 or more, you can succeed even if you roll a natural 1!
