Hello all, I'm running a RotR campaign pretty soon and I'd like some advice considering I've not run an AP before and it's been a while since I've run a game too.
My Players:
20pts buy, average wealth, Core rulebook + traits
- Druid - Player has experience with various tabletop RPGs and other D20 systems as GM and player, has used Pathfinder system once or twice.
- Ranger - Player has experience with a couple of systems.
- Wizard - Experience with a couple of other systems, GM & player.
- Rogue - Relative newcomer.
- Paladin - Experience with other systems, played 3.5 a few years ago.
As you can see, the majority are new/inexperienced PF players, so I'd like a quick check on how well they're likely to perform throughout the AP, or at least Burnt Offerings.
Should I be nudging the CR of encounters up since there's 5 of them or should I ride out the first few as they're written to let them get used to the system?
