A place for people to discuss Pathfinder 2e

Rules:
1. Be Kind and Respectful

Criticism of the game or its mechanics should not turn into attacks on a member of the community. Community members are encouraged to ask questions or seek advice, and should be able to expect respectful and courteous answers. In general, treat others of the community as you would a colleague or friend.

2 Do Not Post Copyrighted Content

Content that is not covered by the Open Game License, Open RPG Creative License, and/or made publicly available by Paizo or a third party is not allowed. View Paizo's community use policy.

3. Post Content of Quality

Posts should be able to spark dialogue, add interesting perspectives, educate, and otherwise contribute to the 2E experience. Quality EX: homebrew rules, analysis, something you discovered/encountered, memes that teach mechanics, stuff with a story. Low effort EX: the cover of a rulebook, AI generated content, unconstructive complaints such as "I hate..." or "X sucks," does not relate to Pathfinder 2E.

4. Limit Promotional Posts

This is a community and we welcome your content but we expect your participation in this community in return. Only 1 self-promotion post per week is allowed. Verified content creators may promote new content regularly. Only verified content creators can promote posts which may require purchases, sign-ups, or provide incentives for participation.

With the advent of Pathfinder Infinite, users advertising Infinite products will also fall under this rule.

5. Art Post Details and Attribution

Art posts must include a follow-up comment relating them to Pathfinder 2e. This could be a campaign summary, ABC and build, or character profile, as appropriate. You must also credit the artist: images that are uncredited or AI generated will be removed.

It all starts on Archives of Nethys, an officially-sanctioned repository of PF2e's material that Paizo generously supports. The Bristle Boar, originally intended to be a level 3 monster, is accidentally listed as level 83, making it by far the highest-level creature in the entire system.

How does the level impact things in it's statblock?

It's been a while since I played pathfinder

PF works on a level scale. The stat block says that it is level three stats, the monster, to be presented as standard, is 83. So you would scale up the stat block.

Nothing is actually published that way, as it is dumber to not make the de facto intended state of the monster the stat block presented, with the level scaling, both directions, to be applied to fit the needs of your game. However, being overly technical, as nerds are, if the monster as is presented says level 83, the stat block, regardless of the level, should be scaled to the level the book says the monster is, as that is what it is intended to be when put into a game.

And, of course, because the Internet is full of nerds, someone has fixed the stat block to be on spec with its level:
