if a pokemon somehow simultaneously had every type, it would be:
- immune to normal, fighting, poison, ground, ghost, electric, psychic, and dragon
- take 1/16 damage from Bug and Grass
- take 1/2 damage from Steel and Dark
- take normal damage from Flying, Fire, Water, Ice, and Fairy
- take double damage from Rock

whoops tonight the players took on two independently very difficult encounters that as written in this adventure path you shouldn't have to fight both of at all (they voluntarily chose to attack the other boss who was explicitly not joining the fight after engaging the others)
three of them are KOed in the company of someone who likes to eat people and the other fled. there might need to be three new PCs?
i really enjoy the morphophonological alternation of orthographic final in rioplatense spanish between semivowel vs. post-alveolar sibilants

apparently spanish borrowed the word groggy (as grogui, of course). not super common but it gets used.

strong temptation about changing what game i'm planning to run soon again

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.

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)
