This thread is a continuation of my previous post, "Pretend you're my GM - what would you do?".

I've recently converted two of my 3.5 PCs to the Pathfinder rules. In doing so, I discovered that their wealth-by-level isn't up to par with the target for their level.

After some really good discussion (and some math corrections on my part!), I've decided to post my PCs' relevant stats so you can help me determine what items would be good to buy with the extra cash that I'm hoping my GM will grant me.

Recently I've converted two of my PCs from the 3.5 system to Pathfinder. I have no current plans for these PCs to be involved in a campaign anytime in the near future, so the conversion was really just for my own kicks and giggles.

However, at the end of the conversion process, I came to a dilemma whose solution is GM-dependent: both PCs are woefully short of the wealth by level target given on Table 12-4, p.399 of the Core Rulebook.

The PCs had just achieved 13th level when I stopped playing them in the 3.5 system. According to the CRB, their wealth target is 140,000gp. I know this number is intended as a general target / rule, but one of my PCs is 45,000gp short of it, and the other is 62,000gp short. These are significant gaps, and if I played either of my PCs with a group of PCs that was on target with their wealth, they'd be seriously underpowered. (You can buy some fun toys for 45,000-62,000gp!)

So all you GMs out there - please let me know what you would do to address this dilemma if I wanted to use one of these PCs in your campaign.

I have a level 13 ranger and need to choose a new favored enemy and terrain. Current favored enemies are giant and undead. Current favored terrains are forest and underground.

This PC is not currently involved in an active campaign; I'm converting him from 3.5 to PF.

So, I'd like some advice on what would be a useful favored enemy and terrain to choose.

In converting 2 of my PCs from 3.5 to PF, I've come to the following questions I'd like your input on:

1.) My ranger 7/fighter 6 PC has attack bonuses of +13/+3. In 3.5 he had +13/+8/+3. Question: what happened to his 3rd attack when he was converted?

2.) This same PC also had magic armor with the Silent Moves special ability in 3.5 (granted a bonus to the Move Silently skill). Question: Since this ability and skill don't exist in PF, do I pick a new ability for the armor?

3.) My fighter 12 PC initially took a level of barbarian when he leveled to 13 in 3.5, but I never actually played him after he leveled. Question: Should I carry this over to PF, or should I go with a 13th level of fighter?

I'm looking through my stack of PC sheets and would like to determine if they're meeting (or at least in the ballpark of) the wealth by level amounts on Table 12-4 of the Core Rulebook.

To do this, do I calculate the total GP it cost my PCs to purchase all of their items (100% of cost), or do I calculate what they would receive if they sold all of their items (50% of cost)?

... the most complete information about the history and cosmology of Golarion?

There's a lot more behind this question, but this is probably a good starting place.

Thanks!

I recently played a PFS session and received 2 prestige points on my chronicle sheet. However, my online profile says I only have 1 prestige point. How do I go about finding the reason for the difference?

Questions about Pathfinder Adventure Paths:

1.) Of the 11 Adv. Paths listed on the website, which ones are still available for purchase?

2.) In what order were they released?

3.) Which ones are the best ones? (I realize that's a very subjective question, but I'd like to see a general consensus.)

4.) Do I need any other Pathfinder resources to use the Adv. Paths (aside from the basic game books)?

I moved to the Rockford, IL area recently and would like to find a group to play Pathfinder with. Anyone interested? Let me know!

Thanks,
Jason
