Leviathannn's page

Thanks for all of the advice! I was planning on getting the whole of the Catacombs ready for the session, I was just trying to get a read on whether or not I needed to get much of Thistletop ready as well. The Catacombs just seems like such a short section when reading it in the book, being only 5 or 6 pages (I figured they might blow through it in 2 hours or so). Then again, our first session with the Swallowtail Festival lasted 5 hours, ending just as they rescued Foxglove (which is about 5 pages as well). Maybe page count isn't the best metric for content length!

It looks like I'll prepare the Catacombs, and maybe just the thistle tunnels in case they dominate the encounters. That should be plenty enough to keep them busy for 4 or 5 hours. Thanks for your help, everyone

I'm in the process of reading and preparing material for my group's next session. I was hoping to get a few time figures from others' experiences as far as how long it took their parties to explore the Catacombs of Wrath. We normally play for 4-5 hours, so I'm trying to gauge how much content to prepare for them past the Catacombs.

It's a group of 5 entirely new-to-rpg players, so they're pretty slow about handling encounters. Also, from the way they handled the Glassworks, they're fairly meticulous about exploring areas. Outside of dungeons, though, they don't give a crap about dealing with things in Sandpoint, so I'm pretty sure they'll head straight to Thistletop once they handle things in the Catacombs.

Also, if anyone has any tips about gauging the length of various sections of this adventure path, they would be greatly appreciated. Preparing content is pretty time consuming for me (as I'm sure it is for most people), so having an idea of how much content I should prepare for each session would be quite beneficial. Thanks!

Ah i see. That is unfortunate about the 20th level power, I suppose I'll have to make due without it. Thanks for explaining.

Currently I'm working on a Samurai that uses the Eldritch Heritage Feat to gain access to the Draconic Bloodline. I'm trying to map out my character progression, and I've run into some confusion. In the guide for bloodlines, it states that each bloodline power is simply gained at X level. Does this mean that one automatically gains this power when they reach that level as long as they are part of the bloodline, or am I reading this wrong?

It doesn't seem that this would make sense, since this would completely negate the necessity for improved and greater Eldritch Heritage to even exist. Also, in the case that you can only gain powers by taking the later heritage feats, is it impossible for me to gain the 20th level bloodline power, as I do not receive a 20th level feat? Thanks in advance!
