I'm looking at using a monster that is incorporeal. It has DR/10 good and cold iron. The rules for incorporeal state:

Even when hit by spells or magic weapons, it takes only half damage from a corporeal source (except for channel energy).

Do the two stack? DR 10 AND taking only half damage seems to be a pretty tough defense if the PC is using a +1 weapon.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

What spells would you use to secure a safe house or a liar for the PC's? Arcane lock is nice, but not too hard to beat. Any suggestions for securing a safe house by a faction that has some money and magic?

Thanks,

I'm DM'ing my first Pathfinder module and the first time I have DM'ed overall in many years. The mod calls for a number of encounters of a high number of 1st level warriors versus the 5th level party. On paper, the encounter level would be EL 7 for 8 x 1st level warrior guards (I think I'm doing the EL correct). I'm worried that the guards will not be able to hit the party's AC and would die quickly and not be much of a challenge to the party. So although the EL would be appropriate on paper, if the PC's are nealy invinsible it might be boring.

Does anyone have thoughts on this? Do you agree the 1st level NPC's might not be able to hit the party? I'm thinking of eliminating a number of the guard encounters for something with a few CR3 or 4 monsters. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
David

I'll be playing my first illusionist that the party has ever had had soon. I know this is pretty situational, but you please give some of the best uses for illusions? My goal is to use illusions to take enemy combatants out of the battle (walls or domes of illusion).

Any ideas along with what spell it would go with would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave
