Hi people, I'm GMing a group of 5 heroes and, while I saw the amazing work Joey Virtue did, I was thinking if would be possible to not change the ecounters but leaving the group 1 level behind their normal advancement.

They are all experienced players except for one who is very new to the game, their characters are made with a PB of 20, I can consider to boost them to 25 in case, and their HP are "rolled" with the PFS rule, so that everyone of them has a good amount of HP.

What do you think? Would it case problems or is it doable?

I was thinking of this because I don't like to play at high levels much and, at the same time, it would save me a lot of time not changing every encounter.

Hi guys, I was wondering if there are any modules settles in the Hook Mountain region in order to incorporate one of them in our campaign.

My PCs have already defeated the Grauls and they're going to make up plans for retaking Rannick but, before doing that, I would like to incorporate 1 or 2 side quests.

I was thinking on pushing them to investigate the Paradise's Wreck, do you have any other ideas or someone else came up with something else? If so feel free to point me to a thread where this is already discussed.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi guys, I've been practicing with the Unchained Monk, I find it a good replace of the Core Monk.

But one of my players noticed this: what happens if an Unchained Suli Monk wants to take Elemental Burst?

Elemental Burst, as written, need the elemental choosen with Elemental Fury, but the Suli has Elemental Assault, which is very close to it (Elemental Assault che be of any type of energy instead of a only choosen one).

How should i rule this? Does the Suli qualifies for Elemental Burst even without Elemental Fury? If yes, should he choose only one type of energy to use with Elemental Fury?

Let me know what you think and thanks in advance for the help.

Hi guys, I stumbled in this matter while running the AP Rise Of The Runelords and I'm sure this's a very stupid question.
My players met "Shadowmist" a warhorse that was abused (He has 14 non-lethal damage) by a tribe of Goblin and in the AP is written "the PCs can calm him down with a DC 25 wild empathy or Handle Animal check or magic like charm animal".

While i get the DC 25 wild empathy check I didn't understand the Handle Animal check, how does it work in order to calm an animal?

The Wild Empathy check works this way if i got it right:

The is Unfriendly (20 DC) but they have to make it friendly to calm him down so it's a 25 DC.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi guys, i'm about to start the RoTRL AP in weeks but i think my party will have huge problems through it, their composition is as follow:

Human Barbarian
Dwarven Barbarian
Suli Monk
Aasimar Paladin
Half-orc Two-Handed Fighter
"Something" Ranger

I still didn't read all the AP so i don't know if they'll encounter a lot of problems but, still, the party doesn't look balanced at all to me and they have nearly 1 year of experience in Pathfinder except one of them who would play for the first time.

What do you advice me to suggest to my players? Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi guys, i'm going to DM for the first time with Rise Of The Runelords in a group of 6 players (I will adjust the CR of each encounter by adding 1CR point to the normal) but one of the players is an Aasimar paladin with a daughter in Sandpoint and another one is an Antipaladin of Lamashtu.
I thought that this couple could play a more important role in the AP.
Maybe instead of kidnapping Ameiko, Tsuto could kidnap the Aasimar paladin's daughter on Nualia's command, in order to lift her "curse" by sacrifying her to Lamashtu.
On the other hand, why should a follower of Lamashtu be interested in stopping Nualia?
I came with an idea, maybe i could tell him that Lamashtu himself told him in a dream to come to Sandpoint and join in a group of "mighty adventurers" in order to find one of his worshippers (Nualia) and help her in her quest. He won't know who is the one that he's looking for, Nualia will ask him herself something similar to "And you, would you stop be like a dog for them and show your very self?!" in order to let him join her in the fight against the others.
I don't think he would have a chance to win the fight and, if he loses, he'll get killed or sent to Magnimar for a trial, in any case he'll need to do another hero.

What do you think about these ideas? Please feel free to give me advices and to call me an idiot if you think these ideas are just stupid, as I said, this's my first time DMing, so I could have easily misundestand something.

P.S.: Oh, and sorry for my bad english!
