Australophilia is banned for naughty acts with kangaroos.

It mocks me incessantly.

Maybe I'm just not very good at this whole web design thing.

Okay, I created the Wiki, but I've having trouble getting the text into the editor, and when I do it messes up the formatting :/

Thanks. I'll get to it tomorrow.

Great Meepo, I have a request of you. Would you permit me to create a Wiki and place all of your monsters there for quick reference and the benefit of the Pathfinder community?

I've decided, after an absolutely horrid campaign came to a rather dramatic end, to break off from active RPing for a while and work on building some stuff. I'm still making this mummy, but as an NPC that'll be archived with a bunch of other NPCs I'm making for future use.

My understanding is that in Pathfinder I just add racial HD and class levels to get ECL. So, if this character has 2 fighter levels, the ECL in Pathfinder terms should be 10, correct? What about Challenge Rating?

On the contrary I believe Mummy and Ice fit really well. Mummies are from the desert and there are two kind of desert, hot and cold. And even hot deserts have cold nights. Also cold temperatures are one of the best ways to mummify a person.

I know the science fits, but I always see mummies as Egyptian (even though others also used similar preservation techniques), and Egyptian + ice goddess weirds me out.

I need an undead cleric of an ice goddess.

She could be any race and should be 8th level.

She could be any kind of undead, just as long as she keeps her class abilities and levels. The obvious choice is vampire, but I would prefer something more creative.

Would Lich or Mummy be acceptable?

Scratch that. Mummy doesn't fit ice well. What about a ghost?

Advance vampire succubus with a couple of Antipaladin levels

How many levels? Any specific fighting style?

Got it.

Cool!

Do you know if the mummy is a template?

It is in Libris Mortis. I could apply it to any animal, magical beast, or humanoid if you wish.

Why did the mods move this here? I'm discussing how to play a mummy in Pathfinder based off of rules I read in a 3.5 book, not how to play a mummy in 3.5.

Thanks. That clears things up.

I've been reading my copy of Libris Mortis, and something it says intrigues me. It mentions in a section on mummies that, of all the undead, they are the most likely to have a good alignment. I like the idea of this. I want to play a mummy fighter with a good alignment. By the Libris Mortis rules, this is plausible.

However, here's where I run into an issue. Libris Mortis also offers a mummy base class with 13 levels. The mummy challenge rating is 5 in both 3.5 and Pathfinder. The level adjustment for the mummy template Libris Mortis offers is 4.

I don't get it. If the LA is four, shouldn't the base class have four levels? What about the challenge rating? How does that sync with the LA? Why does the base class have so many levels?

I obviously do not understand how LA and CR work for monster characters at all. Would you guys please explain it to me?

There is no LA in Pathfinder because it is not an exact science, and the value of a monster changes at different levels.

In 3.5 the LA added to player's level. CR has nothing to do with LA.

If you have 3 class levels, and the monster has an LA of +4 then your affective character level is 7.

For monsters you have to go by which classes synergize with that monsters.

Well, let's say I have a mummy with 3 levels of fighter. What is the effective character level in Pathfinder? Does it increase by one with every level of fighter I take, or does the adjustment for being a mummy drop with level as it's powers become less useful?

Got it.

I'm willing to work with any undead templates published by Paizo and in the D20 PFSRD, any undead templates published by Third Party Publishers and in the D20 PFSRD, and any undead template from Libris Mortis (Need not be SRD. I have my own copy.).

Just post what creature you want and what template it should have, and I'll apply it. If you wish to use something with class levels, such as an NPC, post the character's build.
