Conditions /Pathfinder 2e
Clumsy X
Status penalty to Dexterity-based checks, AC and Reflex saves.
Clumsy has a numeric value — written as Clumsy 1, Clumsy 2 and so on. The value is the size of the effect.
What it does
- Status penalty equal to the value to Dexterity-based checks.
- Same penalty to Armour Class and to Reflex saves.
How it ends
When the effect that caused it ends.
At the table
The AC penalty is the reason to care. Against a heavily armoured boss, lowering AC by 2 raises the whole party damage output disproportionately, because PF2e criticals trigger on beating AC by 10.
