<p>I don't know if DCs changed much between 3.5 and Pathfinder but in 3rd edition I think the DCs were designed with the assumption that skill ranks would be spread around to multiple skills instead of maxed out. In 3.0/3.5 a commoner would have 8 ranks at first level which they could spread around to be proficient in lots of things but not hyper-focused (which matches up with most people in real life). A 1st level commoner with a single rank in Craft would need high quality tools, assistants, and high quality materials to be able to get enough bonuses to routinely make masterwork items. Which makes sense when you think about history and reality. Most craftsmen had apprentices and assistants to help with their work. For the commoner who focused in just one or two skills they would be really good at that one thing but not be able to do anything else. </p>
<p>The DCs would start to get wonky and not make sense if you go the Pathfinder route and assume everyone is super focused in a smaller number of skills.</p>

<p>The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings is a perfect example of what happens when you take low level characters and give them artifacts and/or powerful magic items. There are artifact rings (Bilbo/Frodo/Sam and Gandalf), magic/artifact swords (pretty much all of them except Legolas and Gimli), magic/legendary armor, magic cloaks, vials of magic, and lots of other stuff.</p>

<p>If I remember correctly, Aragorn was statted as a level 28 RM character.. </blockquote><p>The Witch King is probably not a CR5 Encounter. After all, unlike a normal Wraith it likely possesses some class levels. And some magic gear. That would make it approximately CR 8-9, which is about right.
<p>Let's be honest here, Merry (especially Merry) and Eowyn are not level 8+.</p>
<p>Aragorn repelling the Ringwraiths at Weathertop was in PF terms really more some form of Turn Undead equivalent then any real combat ability. He doesn't best them in combat, mostly because at that moment he •can't•. Honestly, the whole thing doesn't really make sense since as the article points, if the Witchking is literally fated to not be able to be killed by a man... why doesn't he just kill them all there? Why does Aragorn waving around fire make any difference at all?</p>
<p>Man if I had more motivation (and a better memory of LotR), I'd just sit down and stat out the thing so people aren't confused. It'd make a good E6 campaign anyway. </blockquote><p>I think people over-simplify the encounter and treat it like a straight up fight between Aragorn and the wraiths. I'm sure the Ring Wraiths original plan was to walk up, kill them all, and take the ring. However, there was a lot about the situation they hadn't planned on or anticipated. First, the group was prepared for them with a rather large bonfire and remember, the wraiths are weaker in light than in the dark, hence the reason Sauron later sends great clouds to cover the world. Second, all of the hobbits were armed with essentially minor to major artifact weapons. The barrow weapons being specifically made to fight the Witch King and his armies. Third, the wraiths were not at full power at this point and were intentionally trying to keep a low profile because Sauron wasn't ready to start his war. Fourth, both Frodo and Aragorn speak, essentially words of warding/power at the wraiths. As Aragorn says, the name of Elbereth was probably the most powerful counter-measure they employed as it inflicts pain on them to hear the name spoken. Lastly, once they stab Frodo with the dagger, why stick around to fight when you don't have to? Now, if this was an encounter between just Aragorn and the fully powered Ring Wraiths and Witch King from the end of the book, then they would have mopped the floor with him. Even fully powered Gandalf was barely a match for the Witch King.
<p>As for Merry and Eowyn, keep in mind that Merry is wielding a magical dagger specifically designed to kill the Witch King. They state that his stabbing the Witch King in the leg with a Dagger of Westernesse broke the spells of protection surrounding the Witch King. </p>
<p>Essentially, killing the big bad uber powerful undead is possible for low level characters when you have the specific McGuffin needed to kill them.</p>

Against less armored foes you could cut and chop but with plate armor, you pretty much need to get them on the ground and then drive the point through one of the gaps. </blockquote><p>I was reading some articles about them; turns out you can swing them to do some serious damage to plate armor. It won't necessarily cleave through, but it will dent and damage, and dented armor makes for a very in effective combatant.
<p>William Wallace was also known to decapitate people in full plate - right through the the plated neck guards - with his claymore. (I think it was Wallace, I read it earlier today and now I can't find the article). </p>
<p>I also remember seeing a documentary on ancient weapons and axes were great weapons for digging into armor - even plate armor. And that's a slashing weapon, too, by pathfinder rules. </p>
<p>Sorry for not providing citations. :( </blockquote><p>I'm not arguing that swinging wouldn't have an effect. Just not as effective as thrusting.
<p>A lot of it comes down to the quality of the plate armor which obviously ranged from older steel armors through later hardened steel plate armor. Some of it comes down to where they have maile vs. plates and much of it comes down to fit. Punching a hole in a breastplate? Not a big deal. Punching a hole in your greaves? That will hurt. </p>
<p>With plate armor the thing to keep in mind is that pretty much all breast plates had space between the breast plate and the body due in one part to shape (the armors weren't flat but globe shaped to reflect blows) and to the fact that something was worn underneath. Early on maile was worn underneath and later a quilted doublet was worn. Both of which provide good protection against whatever gets through the plate armor. For helmets, it really depends on what kind of helmet. Most soldiers in plate armor are likely wearing a great helm of some sort which is worn over another helmet. So denting or piecing it isn't going to be a huge inconvenience.</p>
<p>Greaves, however, and some of the armor on the extremities, were pretty much shaped to the individual wearer and so punching a hole would leave a wound. </p>
<p>The effect of dented armor on a user (even a helmet) is highly overrated.</p>
<p>You also have to be careful with William Wallace since there is a lot of myth, legend, and propaganda included in the writings (from both sides of the conflict) and the Wallace Sword that hangs in a museum is a Frankenstein monster of a weapon. The handle is 16th century (since according to records it was re-hilted) and the blade, as far as metallurgists can determine, is actually three blades forged together. Swords of that size pretty much didn't exist or weren't used at that time. That said, Wallace did use a two-handed sword, it's called a longsword.</p>
<p>If you watch anything produced by the History Channel or The Learning Channel with regards to historical weapons, you can ignore most of what they say. The shows are highly dubious. </p>
<p>Mid to late plate armor was really really good. There's a reason everyone switched to polearms and guns. </p>
<p>EDIT: If you find the Wallace article I would love to read it. I've been reading a bunch of stuff about him recently and its been fascinating to see all of the different ways he was portrayed by different groups in different periods of time.</p>

<p>Here are a few of my basic ones.
<br />
<ul>
<br />
<li>At 1st level each character gets to select 2 skills and one feat as background for their character. These represent what the character has done before/outside of adventuring.
<br />
<li>Training - During downtime a character can gain XP by spending time and money training with an NPC. The NPC must be of the same class and of higher level than the PC and the PC must spend 1 week/character level and 100GP/character level for the training. At the end of the training the PC receives XP equal to a CR of the PCs current level. This can be used once per level.
<br />
<li>The armor table gets re-written. Armor Check Penalty and Speed penalties get removed as they are factored in by encumbrance. Arcane Spell Failure changes from a percentage to a Spellcraft check. The number of armors gets reduced to three per category and start with an AC bonus of 2 and go up to 10.
<br />
<li>Pretty much all exotic weapons are removed.

<p>Do what you were going to do before and just see how it plays out. Talk to them about their characters and see what their plans are. Building a character from five different books doesn't mean they can't roleplay. It might mean that in Pathfinder, it required five books for them to create the particular character with the flavor and background they wanted. </p>
<p>Also, keep in mind that the characters are who they are while playing. Not just a pile of numbers on paper.</p>

<p>All depends on the game. When you have an open sandbox game, all of the players have 3+ characters to use, and there is not giant meta-plot then characters can come and go. Some retire because they made their money and want to live comfy lives for what time they have left, another might finally have the funds and opportunity to start a church, and another may have just decided that after having his soul sucked on by a shadow he/she doesn't want to adventure anymore. </p>
<p>Sometimes players just want to try something new or get bored with their existing character. </p>
<p>I look at it this way. Retired characters are features of the game world. They are a known entity that I as GM can use to pull the players in more and engage them. Retired players don't just disappear.</p>

<p>First, I reduced the dice rolled from d8 to d6 which seems to work a little better.</p>
<p>Two, I've reduced the number of healing spells down to three: CLW, CMW, and Heal. Heal is updated to work more like the 2E version of the spell. This change I could probably scrap due to the change below.</p>
<p>Three, clerics do not spontaneously cast cure spells but domain spells instead. If you want to play a cleric who is about healing you take the healing domain. </p>
<p>My main reason for wanting to boost healing is that my friends NEVER play clerics. Over the last 20 years I've seen my friends play 2 clerics and only grudgingly because they felt someone needed to heal. Most of the clerics in the party have been NPCs. So boosting healing means someone who plays a bard or druid can provide adequate healing without having to dedicate themselves to it. </p>
<p>It also allowed me to introduce alchemical potions that heal 1d8+1 or 2d8+1 which helped to make Alchemy a more interesting skill.</p>

The only difference is that the fighter might have a <i>second</i> stab-wound that <i>also</i> needs healing.</p>
<p>The healing was not more effective on one than the other: the same amount of injury got healed. There is no inconsistency.

</blockquote><p>Are we assuming they are receiving the exact same physical injury? If so why? That 5 HP hit on a wizard is 5/6 of his HP while on the fighter it is 5/12.

<p>In a game without levels you scrap the whole cure line and are left with 'Cure', 'Cure Mass' and 'Cure Fatal/Breath of Life' </blockquote><p>I think it's more than that though. Why is CLW (1d8+1 at first level) more effective when cast on a wizard than a barbarian? Assuming it heals 4 points on average that's half a first level wizard's hit points (assuming 6 to start plus 2 from Con) but less than a third of a barbarian's hit points (assuming 12 to start plus at least 2 from Con). That seems strange to me.
<p>Now compare that 4 hit points of healing to natural healing. At first level it is 4 days worth of natural healing or 2 days of full bed rest. At 4th level it is 1 day of healing or 1/2 day of full bed rest. Why the change? </p>
<p>My inclination would be to fix the healing spells to make them better match with the rest of the HP system. Either make them 1DX+1 where X is the hit die type of the recipient, which gets wonky and complicated with multi-classing, or make it provide 1d8+1 days of natural healing. </p>
<p>I like the idea that more powerful characters require more powerful magic but it would be nice if the spells were a little more consistent with other types of healing.</p>

Neskari will kneel down and inspect both Kellien and Trevvis to see if there is anything that he can do for them.
Kellien and Trevvis are now both stable, however they were clearly very close...

Stepping to one side trying to flank the Ogre with Bogorin they're almost in position when the Ogre lets out a startled gasp.

Tottering Bogorin and Willy suddenly notice the arrow imbedded in the Ogre's chest so deeply that only its end is visible and even then they almost miss noticing it.
<br />
The Ogre drops his club and tries in vain to pull the arrow out, but it gasps for breath as its mouth begins to bubble blood as finally mortality catches up with it as it collapses face first in front of you...</p>

Turning to Tenna with a grin on his face he gives Tenna a robust bear hug shouting, "Great Shot! I knew you were the best shot in Waypoint!". After putting her back down on her feet he stoops and picks up his shield and axe and heads to join the others.

<p>Garai doesn't really think the scrolls are worth much, so they will keep Neferet out of the way without being a big loss if she does one.... </blockquote><p>Neferet has been following the interaction with the veiled newcomer with a puzzled look. At Garai's comment, she interjects with a slight look of concern.
<p>"Er...I'm not completely sure that I find that reasonable," she begins carefully, with a nervous swallow. "I mean...I didnt actually bid on the scrolls and given what that Chelish nobleman said I'm not even sure they're genuine. As far as I can see, I paid for a part of the rubbings," she pauses as her eyes flick from person to person, eventually settling on Allovin.</p>
<p>"Our agreement was that I'd pay a third and in exchange I'd be able to make a copy for myself, you would keep the originals," she says. "Wouldnt it be reasonable to allow me to keep a third of them in the interim? As collateral if you like, plus I could get started tonight on translation while you...do whatever it is you're going to do... There's no point in me running off with only a third of them, so you needn't worry about that. This way it at least provides some assurance that I will see you again....No offence intended of course, but please put yourself in my position." </blockquote><p><b>"That would be more than fair. Why don't you take the first half of the rubbings and we can meet at the pathfinder lodge to discuss anything you've found and what we want to do with them. I apologize, we don't want to short change you of what you've rightly paid for."</b>
<p>Allovin will give her the first half of the rubbings and hand the rest to Kimu.</p>
<p>Turning again to Neferet, <b>"Come to the pathfinder lodge tomorrow after sunrise and ask for Allovin Dar."</b></p>

At the door are two well armed and keen eyed guards who politely ask whether you are here as an observer or as a bidder.</p>
<p>“Entry is free to those who are just here for the show,” the guard informs you courteously. “However, if you wish to be a participant in the auction, you must pay a ten gold coin registration fee.”</p>
<p>Peering inside you can see a small stage with a semi-circular roped off area around it. Those who choose not to register are allowed no closer than the barrier. Those who have paid the registration fee are clearly permitted to have a small entourage, so only one of you would need to register to gain access for all of you. Most who are entering the tent remain in the public area behind the rope, however a few groups of registered bidders are beginning to filter in. Under the watchful eye of half a dozen eunuchs, they are permitted to examine the various lots which have been displayed on the stage.

In ancient days, these four pharaohs vied against each other for dominance of the Osirian Empire. After a long rivalry, they began to see the damage that their fierce competition was causing to the country and people of Osirion. According to some accounts, the empire was on the verge of fracturing into different political factions, and the internecine violence that began to rend the social fabric was what finally caused the four pharaohs to realize the dire situation that their rivalry had created. To reverse this political disintegration, the four made a magical pact, binding their fates together, ensuring that they would rule together and die together."</p>
<p>Kimu pauses here to look around the table, as if surveying the attention of his audience. After a moment, he continues speaking. "The four pharaohs were known as The Cerulean Pharaoh, the Fiend Pharaoh, the Radiant Pharaoh, and the Pharaoh of Numbers. Although the true name of the Pharaoh of Numbers has been lost to history, scholars have determined the proper names of the other three. The Cerulean Pharaoh was named Anok Fero; the Fiend Pharaoh, Hetshepsu; and the Radiant Pharaoh was called Ankana."</blockquote><p><b>"Our times could use more rulers like that.

You pass under the bridge and then into the jungle proper, rising like the wall of a green fortress, the Vanji River issuing from its dark greenhouse. A little less than ten miles into the jungle, Captain Esteban steers the wheelboat into a tributary he calls the Kurka River rather than following the main artery of the Vanji. He explains that this stagnant rill flows from Kurka Swamp, in turn fed by the Brimstone Falls on the opposite site. The swamp is fife with plantlife of all kinds, including mobile plant creatures that serve as hosts for the badly needed arcophages. He states it should take the boat a few days off of its schedule, and the only alternative is to swim or walk once the current arcophage gives out. At that he stops talking abruptly with a strange look in his eyes leaving the crew to go back to their duties....... </blockquote><p><b>"Tell me Captain, do you happen to know why the people of White Bridge would carry bottles of poison in their medical kits?"</b>

<p>He has a great deal of pride in his family name and history and is out searching for information on the one ancestor that his family has no records of. The information he has pieced together says that the long lost uncle was a part of an enclave in or around what is now the Darkmoon Vale. Though Thorgrim is no starry-eyed youth and fully understands how dark the world can be he does have a somewhat romantic view of his life, his family, and ancestors.</p>
