When it comes to rules, what makes you say "I recognize that the council has made a decision, but given that it's a stupid-ass decision, I've elected to ignore it"? (aussie.zone)

In other words, what's an official rule or interaction between different rules in Pathfinder 2e that you think is dumb?

I understand why the Incapacitation trait exists, but oh my God is it unfun. It's already difficult to get a higher level enemy to fail a save. It's basically the Legendary Resistance tax from 5e except you can't even pay it off

@sabazius @Zagorath I get that, but it’s also one of the reasons single boss fights continue to “just work” in the system instead of the PCs getting off a save or die effect.

This is true, but at the same time, most of the incap effects are on spells with saving throws, which so rarely result in crit fails that it just feels mean to nullify it when it happens

@sabazius Maybe I'll change my mind when I run some higher-level stuff but it just hasn't been an issue so far.
