Context: There was a typo on Archives of Nethys where the Bristle Boar was marked as level 83, and if you know anything about Pathfinder's scaling you know exactly why that is hilarious.

What makes it even better is that it was Paizo's offical account that posted it:

To be clear, a level 80 creature would be over one trillion times stronger than a level 20 character

It wouldn't even roll dice. With a weighted die to roll all natural 1's, all results would still be decided by modifiers alone, and the results would be death.

The best case scenario is that the creature acts as the immortal snail, and your character spends the rest of their life on the run.

A natural 1 on an attack roll is an automatic miss in Pathfinder, isn't it? Your modifiers don't matter if you keep rolling automatic misses.

Just downgrades the results a step, so it's Oops, All Hits rather than Oops, All Crits.
