I have 6 PCs and im preping my game so here are the changes i made ...
Like Mana from heaven. I am about to start RoTRL with a big long weekend of gaming with 6 or 7 PC's so this is a great help. I particularly like your additional developments. Just bullet form is enough to give some helpful guidance.
But who is Bunkel and did you change goblin commandos?
My group is pretty 'efficient' and we may get on to Skinsaw so the sooner you get this up the better.
- I know it's skinsaw but I have compared Iesha to Aldern and it seems that if the pc's step aside she will just kick his butt.
Thanks again.
The bullets just work great for me i laminate them and take them to the game and use wet erase pens on them to keep track of things
Bunkel was the Thiseltop Goblins tourtuerer that was killed in the raid I just wanted to add him to the combat. He is a 1st level fighter 1st level rogue (with 6 players to get them enough exp an extra cr 2 really helps i think)
Im still prepping to run my game so please let me know how it goes so if i need to make changes

I particularly like your additional developments. Just bullet form is enough to give some helpful guidance.
But who is Bunkel and did you change goblin commandos?

Thanks again.
So how did this work for you guys hope it helped ill be starting on The Stone Giants tuesday
Here are my house rules We are very hard core combat characters
We roll characters 4d6 re roll 1s drop the lowest
Background Skills
Characters start out with an extra 3 ranks of any single Knowledge, Craft, or Profession skill, or 2 ranks of any two such skills, if desired. These extra allocations work with the character’s background to help flesh out the PC.
Hit Points
Characters start first level with max hit points any time a character rolls new hit points they can take half of the max dice roll instead of rolling the dice, players can also roll for themselves and if they don’t like there roll have the DM roll for them.
Hit Dice Change
Hit dice for core classes (and most Prestige Classes) will now be directly tied to their base attack bonus progression (barbarians are the exception)
Slow Base Attack D6s
Standard Base Attack D8s

1 Loses all attacks for the rest of the round and falls prone and drops weapon and does A critical hit to your self and do double sunder damage on your weapon
Disabled, Dying, and Dead
Characters no longer necessarily die at –10 hit points, as in the Core Rules, Instead, If the character’s hit points drop to a negative number lower than 10 plus there Constitution modifier, the character is dead. A character also can die from taking massive damage or after suffering ability damage or drain that reduces his Constitution to 0
Instant Death
If a character rolls 3 20s in a row on an attack the victim of the attack dies instantly. If a character rolls 3 1s in a row on an attack the attacker dies. (Character must be vulnerable to instant death)
Fumbled Saving throws
If a character rolls a 1 on a saving throw and the character takes double damage or effect from the spell.
Identifying Magic Items
Characters can use Craft (alchemy) to identify potions at no cost: just a taste. The Difficulty Class is 15 + the item’s caster level.
PCs can attempt to identify any magic item by casting detect magic and making a Knowledge (arcana) check. The Difficulty Class is 20 + the item’s caster level.
These are for a very baseline identification of the item.
This formula, however, is subject to the approval of the DM—he may rule that some items are easier or harder to identify than others. A ring might have secret sigils inscribed on the interior of the band that hint at its true nature, if only you could find them. A +1 sword might be the simplest thing in the world to spot. A staff of power might hide its nature until certain conditions are met. Standard retries of both the Craft and Knowledge checks are not allowed. However, a character who devotes a full day to examining an item may take 20 on the check.
Zero Level Spells
Spell casters can prepare a number of cantrips, or 0-level spells, each day. They can cast these spells at will as a spell-like ability. The number of cantrips a spell caster can prepare each day is the number of Zero level spells they can usually cast. Cantrips are treated like any other spell cast by the wizard in terms of duration and other variables based on level.

Has anyone used any of this stuff how is it playing out I have not started on Sins of our Saviors yet but it seems like most people dont need them yet
I'm just starting HMM this week, and I do have 6 PCs, so I will certainly have a look at your work and use it at least partially.
So far, the only changes I have made to the adventure are to slightly bump up some of the Grauls (+1 char level here and there, somewhat better equipment, making one of them a Combat Trapsmith), as well as add another member of the family, Lannan Graul
I'll post about this later on! Thanks for your work!
Has anyone used any of this stuff how is it playing out I have not started on Sins of our Saviors yet but it seems like most people dont need them yet
I have run Burnt Offerings with some of your changes. I would recommend against 4 yeth hounds in the temple of Lahmashtu. My group cleared out the top level easily but the hounds hammered them. 4 Will saves sent half the party running for home- combined with the hounds high ac and damage reduction was not pretty.
Although it did give rise to a genius comic moment as they came out of the fear just as they all ran on to the dodgy rope bridge....
I'm using some of these ideas for my Burnt Offerings game this week with the Savage Worlds game system. Mostly just adding in extra mooks for the PCs to fight since Savage Worlds doesn't use levels or hit points.
Has anyone used any of this stuff how is it playing out I have not started on Sins of our Saviors yet but it seems like most people dont need them yet
I'm running a party of 5 gestalt characters at the moment, and we're at the end of Burnt Offerings now (all the baddies have been beaten, and the party is cleaning out Thistletop).
I'm going to be using your notes for the aftermath of Burnt Offerings (i.e. escorting Tsuto to Magnimar for trial, since they took him alive, as well as Lyrie), and then digging into them fully for The Skinsaw Murders and beyond. I think the changes will give them a better challenge, and help build the feeling of continuity between the adventures.
Great stuff - thanks for sharing these with us! :)

Just had another player join up for my game, now up to 6. Can't wait to start.
Just wanted to say that I love how you tossed in all the active spells info for the NPCs/Monsters in the descriptions. It makes it real easy to track what is going on with the dude.
You Rock! I can't wait to toss back some feedback.
IF death is not around every corner at high levels why play
Every so often it is nice to just be the biggest bad-ass on the block. But generally I'd agree you should be challenged.

Well, my players wiped the floor with the sinspawn, however in the cathedral, the quasit almost took them all out. With his high AC, they were having a terrible time hitting him, then when they did, his DR prevented them from doing much damage. His channel (We are playing pathfinder beta) was hitting them hard, and the cleric only having 1d6 healing compared to the 2d6 damage could not keep up. In the end they grappled him, and beat him with a crowbar the thief had handy. It was a close thing though.

That tale reminds me of how my group handled the mephit in the first WotC module, The Sunless Citadel (back in 3.0). Sleep spell, tied it up, and then kept on hitting it with a battleaxe while it was helpless. I think that my NG wizard's alignment suffered from that event - or was it also because I was involved in coup de grace'ing the sleeping hobgoblins? :)

LOL, yea, they were shocked at how much pathfinder boosted the power of him with just channel energy. One kep saying, "We almost got wiped by a familliar?!?" I thoguht the challenge level was perfect, though I would have like to have seen the sin spawn be a bit more of a challenge.

• Challenge Rating: 17
• Create Yellow Musk Zombie (Su): A victim reduced to Intelligence 0 becomes a yellow musk zombie in 1 hour under the control of the creeper that created it. If the yellow musk creeper is slain before the yellow musk zombie rises, the transformation can be prevented by the casting of neutralize poison followed by heal or restoration spell.
• Intelligence Damage (Ex): As a free action, a yellow musk creeper can insert hundreds of tiny roots into the head of an entranced foe within any space occupied by the creeper. An entranced foe does not resist this attack and does not receive a saving throw to break free of its entranced state. This attack deals 1d6 points of Intelligence damage each round. A victim reduced to Intelligence 0 becomes a yellow musk zombie in 1 hour (see that entry in this book).
• Pollen Spray (Ex): A yellow musk creeper can spray a tiny cloud of hypnotic pollen at a single creature within 30 feet. An opponent hit by the cloud must succeed on a DC 34 Fortitude save or be entranced for 1d4 minutes (as by a charm monster spell). Entranced creatures can take no action other than to move at their normal speed into a space occupied by the yellow musk creeper. An entranced creature resists any attempt to halt its progress. A victim within a space occupied by the yellow musk creeper stands there and offers no resistance to the monster’s attacks. The save DC is Constitution-based.
• Blindsight (Ex): The yellow musk creeper has no visual organs but can ascertain all foes within 30 feet using sound, scent, and vibration.
• Rejuvenation (Ex): A yellow musk creeper can be killed only if its root is dug up, then burned, hacked apart, or otherwise destroyed. Reducing the creeper to 0 or less hit points puts it out of commission, allowing excavation of its roots. The main root is a large object with a hardness of 8 and 1200 hit points. The root can be affected by spells or effects that affect an area or targeted by spells that affect an individual target. As long as the root remains intact, a yellow musk creeper regrows in about 2 weeks.

• Special Abilities
• Swallow Whole/Paralysis A tendriculos can try to swallow a grabbed opponent by making a successful grapple check Once inside the plant’s mass, the opponent must succeed on a DC 32 or be paralyzed for 3d6 rounds by the tendriculos’s digestive juices, taking 3d6 points of acid damage per round. A new save is required each round inside the plant. The save DC is Constitution-based. A swallowed creature that avoids Paralysis can climb out of the mass with a successful grapple check. This returns it to the plant’s maw, where another successful grapple check is needed to get free. A swallowed creature can also cut its way out by using a light slashing or piercing weapon to deal 25 points of damage to the Tendriculos’s interior (AC 14). Once the creature exits, the plant’s regenerative capacity closes the hole; another swallowed opponent must cut its own way out. A Gargantuan Tendriculos’s interior can hold 1 Huge, 4 Large, 16 Medium, 64 Small, 128 Tiny, or 256 Diminutive or smaller opponents.

I like it. Karzoug is tough to figure out what to do with. Do you have the Advanced Bestiary by Green Ronin? I think adding an appropriate template from there for him to boost him would do more than just adding some levels or something. I may toss in a Red Sundew from MM2 in the plant area and maybe an Orcwort tree just because I love using them and almost never get a chance.
You do an amazing job on this stuff. Thanks for all your hard work.
I was thinking of a very evil thing to do with him that after 5 rounds after his defeat come back will all spells and HP untill they destroy the Soul Lens or maybe come back with his spells he has cast active or somthing

Interesting. "Whew! We beat him! Now let loot the....what the hell?!? Oh no, he's moving!" Roll initiative again.
I think him coming back at full strength would be a bit much but maybe he replenishes 1d4 spells per spell level and gets 3/4 of his HP back with all active spells at his death still in effect. Hmmm.

Awesome thread.
I started last night with 6 characters and a backup player/DM aide.
I want to make it more challenging for the characters. I wanted to play woth 4 PCs but due to popular demand I have too many players.
I am not going to increase the CR ratings on basic encounters or event the big set ones unless the PCs desire it.
I am planning to make up the short fall of XP woth side adventures, notably some gamemastery modules that are linked and small dungeon crawls. This will help slow the cash flow problem I am developing in purchasing all the books.
Great work on these adaptions. I look forward to implementing them.

Most of this stuff will have enough Exp I think for 6 players this will be a solid challenge
