I’d say you should worry about it all you want beforehand, but make sure to go, and make sure to leave those thoughts at the entrance. These thoughts/emotions are there for a reason, but IMHO they are more useful for preparation, not for the event itself.

I sometimes even mime putting such intrusive thoughts into an imaginary box, locking it with a key, and setting it down somewhere, or tossing it over my shoulder. This sort of ritual helps me to really cement my intention of leaving something that I no longer need behind.

Also, having you wife with should be a great help, for obvious reasons. But really you are an adult, as long as you don’t show up in a sailor moon costume I doubt if anyone will be paying much attention to you at all.

Dammit I meant Morrowind! I’m getting old.

The worst for me was elder scrolls: oblivion. I played it on xbox back when it came out. I played nothing else for about 18 months. I must have had thousands of hours by the time it got old.

I actually didn’t even notice the link to the article. Oops. Thanks for pointing that out.

Thank you for pointing this out. I honestly missed the link completely! I’m not usually the type to comment on a post that links to an article without reading it. Oops.

Defeatism will get us nowhere. The power of the people dethroned kings, and it will dethrone capitalism too.

I do agree that the actions of a single person are a drop in the bucket, but we can only fill the bucket if many of us offer their single drop. We each must do our part, no matter how insignificant that part may be.

No, there are abilities that grant auch bonuses for longer, like this one:

It’s usually better to not look for general rules, but to instead get used to reading the ability descriptions with a focus on the key words, like traits, bonus/malus types, and saving roll types.

Edit: I made a mistake, that example does indeed just grant the bonus to the next attack only. Perhaps that rule is correct.

Pathfinder 2e is extremely clear in it’s rules, you just have to carefully read the descriptions.

From Monster hunter:

You and allies you tell gain a +1 circumstance bonus to your next attack roll against that prey.

From Double Slice:

Make two Strikes, one with each of your two melee weapons, each using your current multiple attack penalty.

So you make two strikes, you roll to attack twice. The bonus only applies to the first strike. If the monster hunter feat had the following text, it would apply to both attacks:

You and allies you tell gain a +1 circumstance bonus to your next action against that prey.
