my wife's gonna gm a 1-on-1 campaign of pathfinder 1e for me for spanish practice/fun combo reasons and i am learning that there's a lot of very basic 3.5e d&d/1e pathfinder rules i was not aware of before now (admittedly, i never played either but)

@alyssa that last one is true of modern d&d also

@Satsuma ah interesting. it did not come up during the one game of 5e i've played hehe.
pathfinder 2e does instead "roll the damage normally, then multiply the result" (although roll multiple times and then add them together is explicitly offered as a variant).

for example that the encumbrance rules in most circumstances are "dwbi, just apply your armor penalties", or that 2-handed weapons get one and a half times your strength modifier as a bonus, or that when you do e.g. double damage, you roll the damage dice twice rather than just, rolling once and doubling the result.
