Saving throw quiz!
docs.google.com
For each question, you will be shown a picture of a PF2e monster. Without looking it up, guess that creature's WORST saving throw. The purpose of this quiz is not to educate, but to test player intution and determine the value of Recall Knowledge checks. Thus, it is important you do not cheat! Go with your gut feeling, as if you'd spaced out in combat and it's suddenly your turn!

u/corsica1990 over on th’other site posted a survey a few days ago, trying to figure out how easily people could intuit creatures’ worst saving throws (Fortitude, Reflex, or Will) based on just the creature’s name and bestiary art.

How’d you do? Also, will you, too, forever have nightmares about jellyfish clam squids? Because I ain’t ever unseeing that.

    Pretty sure it’s 2e.

    Most of the bestiary artwork is on the Archives of Nethys, I think, so if you want inspiration for homebrewing, I’d dig through there.

    Stat blocks are easier to get off of pf2easy, but it’s harder to browse, and it doesn’t have the art. It does have the BattleZoo Bestiary, though, which is really, really cool (though not the 2nd one, Strange and Unusual, unfortunately).

    Also, I’ve found that the creatures from Flee, Mortals! port over to Pathfinder 2e really well, since they’re both pulling from D&D 4e. The pf2.tools monster template makes it almost trivial, in fact. Or if you want to port PF2 creatures to 5e, it provides a good template. Just remember that CR is approximately Creature Level + 2.
