eh, the game incentivizes it. Why sneak through a dungeon for the xp, because monsters hardly counted and dying was so possible, when you can just minmax, have crazy builds etc and bang pots outside of the dungeon and kill the monsters as they funnel out and get all the same xp?

I enjoyed my time with pf1e, definitely a campaign I remember, but I would be just as okay with 5e tbh in pf1e adventure paths
