I'm interested in running a mod this time. Carrion hill. But give me some time to reprep(its more complicated then a scenario). The level range for character creation will be 5-6. Haven't decided whether to give 5 or 6 for character creation. Let me read the mod then I'll get back to you on it.
Module itself is 4-6.
On one hand you two handled a tough PFS scenario easily, but again, modules are a little harder then the average PFS scenario. Hrmmmm.
Haven't talked to him yet, you can contact him, but there's nothing you can do to help me with prep. That is my task to handle. You two can get your characters prepared faster then I can get the scenario prepped lol.
The strange city of Carrion Hill has long loomed over the surrounding swamps in eastern Ustalav, yet its rulers have shifted many times through the centuries. Often enough that only a few sinister scholars and curious minds know the true nature of the hill’s original inhabitants—vile and depraved cultists of the Old Gods. Yet this morning, a dreadful recrudescence rises from the depths of buried nightmare in the vaults below Carrion Hill. A monster stalks the twisted alleys of the city, spreading panic before it and leaving destruction in its wake. Can the Carrion Hill Horror be stopped?
Carrion Hill is an adventure for 5th-level characters, written for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game and compatible with the 3.5 edition of the world’s oldest RPG. The adventure features a mix of urban and dungeon sites, and draws its inspiration from the popular writings of H. P. Lovecraft.
This adventure is set in the sinister country of Ustalav in the Pathfinder Chronicles campaign setting, but can easily be adapted for any game world.
Doesn't say for how many people...
Modules, like APs, are written with the assumption of 4 PCs.
EDIT: I also know precisely the sort of character that I would build for that - and it *would* be different to Basil ;-)
No the *other* Wild Caller ;-)
Paizo actually released two Archetypes for Summoner with the same name :-/
This will be his Eidolon's 'handle'. (Again, the profile needs to be updated.)
Trapfinder trait from mummy's mask lets everything and their dog disable traps. Also, for disable device on eids, please have limbs(arms).
My mind shudders at using other appendages to disable device.
I read the mod, the pregens provided were level 5, so level 5 for character creation it shall be.
Luke, link me the wildcaller you're using so I won't get confused.
How about tentacles?
*whistles innocently*
I knew that was coming...
If your tentacle can grasp things as well as a hand can(I.e like prehensile hair hex, or tiefling tails), you can use it to DD.
Mind you tentacles are secondary natural attacks, -5 to hit.
Tiefling tails can grab stuff(most commonly used is metamagic rods), but no, they can't use weapons. Now, I suspect both of you need to get your brains washed. Or more like, scrubbed clean.
What I'm trying to get at is if the description of tentacles does not say you can use it as well as a hand, then, no, you can't use it to grab stuff, or DD.
Prehensile Tail Many tieflings have tails, but some have long, flexible tails that can be used to carry items. While they cannot wield weapons with their tails, they can use them to retrieve small, stowed objects carried on their persons as a swift action. This racial trait replaces fiendish sorcery.
The prehensile tail of tieflings specifically states you can grab items.
The tentacle description of eidolon:
An eidolon possesses a long, sinuous tentacle, granting it a tentacle attack. This attack is a secondary attack. The tentacle attack deals 1d4 points of damage (1d6 if Large, 1d8 if Huge). This evolution can be selected more than once.
No where does it state you can grab objects, so you cannot.
Oh nevermind. It might be a cultural thing but here in Asia, tentacles have a different meaning....
An eid could take extra traits feat, and put trapfinder as one of the traits.

Re: Tentacles, it seemed like the limb most likely to be able to manipulate stuff, and is fairly Call of Cthulhu-esque. Certainly more than, say, pincers.
If you take the tentacle discovery as an alchemist, it is certainly able to hold/manipulate stuff, but I agree, the eidolon description does not specifically mention that.
@Angus: How about gunslinger/alchemist? There is a lot of body-horror stuff you can do with the alchemists (especially with all of the discoveries that grant you additional limbs / swap out your existing ones).
Re: Wild Caller:
I function on a RAW basis. You get what the ability says you get, nothing more, nothing less.
Sorry - I'd like to see your spellbook, so that if you change your spell prep, I know where you're coming from. Your CMD should be 13. 5th level wizard gets 2 BAB, + 1 dex.
If you want you can flavor the arms to look like tentacles. I don't really care =)
My bad. I forgot to factor in the str penalty. I rather not in the middle of the game and then you say I cast *xx* then I go ??
All right guys, I'm done with the maps, and don't mind the pun but the whole map was driving me crazy. You'll see later when the time comes.
How about an Inquisitor with the Blackpowder Inquisition? You'll have access to Cure spells, as well guns (not to mention qualifying for the tasty Inquisitor ability known as Bane!).
