(a) would they spend that 1 Hope PRIOR to making the dice roll for the shot (I would guess - yes)
(b) by spending that 1 Hope do you mean "add one tengwar" to the result, irrespective of the number of tengwars rolled with the dice pool?
(c) if you spend 1 Hope for this increase in tengwars, can you also spend ANOTHER point of Hope to add 1d6 to the dice pool for the attack roll ?
For Shield Fighting : is it more in the TOR2e Streamlined approach to simply say that a Shield Bash used to push back an adversary ALSO inflicts a bit of Endurance loss equal to the Load of the shield on that Adversary? (That would eliminate the additional Feat die roll.)
Water Legs: seems to be equivalent to a free situational bonus. i.e. whenever the surface can be considered moving (boat, rope bridge, inside a moving wagon) the Lakeman gets + 1d6 to combat and movement skill rolls
Traders Savvy: seems ideal for a free 1d6 bonus in Council skills, or possibly moving the scale along e.g. from Reluctant to Open.
As for the Cultural Blessing - with the much better Hope refill in TOR2e, my impression here is this might easily become overpowered, leading to quite a lot of extra Experience .(but I have done no calculations! It is just my personal take on this) Simply getting Favoured (best of 2d12) in Shadow tests seems more 'in tune' ?

I am not sure that Great Success or Extraordinary Success is "a thing" in TOR2e. So, when a Bowman of the Guild spends 1 Hope to raise the level of Success of a Ranged Hit:(a) would they spend that 1 Hope PRIOR to making the dice roll for the shot (I would guess - yes)
(b) by spending that 1 Hope do you mean "add one tengwar" to the result, irrespective of the number of tengwars rolled with the dice pool?
(c) if you spend 1 Hope for this increase in tengwars, can you also spend ANOTHER point of Hope to add 1d6 to the dice pool for the attack roll ?

I like some of the streamlining made to the rules, PF1 is quite rules heavy, being based on D&D 3.5.

I got to try Pathfinder 2nd edition during KublaCon 2026, as part of Pathfinder Society organized play. Played a small "Bounty" game called Hillcross Roundup as Valeros, a level 1 fighter.I like some of the streamlining made to the rules, PF1 is quite rules heavy, being based on D&D 3.5.
