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:
To be clear, a level 80 creature would be over one trillion times stronger than a level 20 character
I know just enough about Pathfinder to think "yeah, that sounds like the kind of beautiful nonsense I should expect for Pathfinder"
The boar being level 83 is a typo in an old manual, but people have leaned into it for fun.
The boar is actually level 3.
nonsense? it makes perfect sense!
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.
I roll one with the die. The die is with me.
Jesus 😮
