Levelling at pre-determined points is an idea yes, though I doubt that I can convince them to abandon XP. ^^

But that list is going to come in very handy. Thank you!

Thank you! That is exactly what I wanted to know. ^^

One final question: Are there any good tactics for keeping the players level 'in check' while staying roughly within the Pathfinder rule framework? (I don't want to arbitrarily withhold levels)

My players will enter 'The Skinsaw Murderers' at arount level 5-6. How can I get them 'in sync' with the AP so that I don't have to modify each and every single encounter up to the grand finale in #6 (apart from the to-Pathfinder-conversion that is)?

The way I see it, I would use medium progression (or even slow progression?) in RotRL even though it was written for 3.5. Then again, I keep reading that RotRL was 'brutal' and that the extra power of Pathfinder-characters was welcome.

What progression do you suggest? What are common approaches to keep PC levels within the range designated by an adventure?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I'm fairly new to Pathfinder and d20 role-playing games in general. I recently started a Pathfinder group with the 'Crypt of the Everflame', we're currently in the middle of 'Masks of the Living God' and I have already bought the 'City of Golden Death'. After that, my players will be a group of 4 (warrior, cleric, monk, druid) level 5-6 characters.

Now I'm wondering what I should do next and failing to find a suitable module, I turned to Adventure Paths and RotRL in particular. I do know that they are intended to be played with fresh lvl 1 characters but I'm wondering if it is feasible to play it with already existing characters on higher levels.

The way I see it now, I'd have to start with #2 'The Skinsaw Murderers' level-wise and maybe tweak a couple of the early encounters a bit, since Pathfinder characters are more powerful anyway.

My problem is, that I don't want to read the AP because if I decide against running it in my group, I'd still like to be able to enjoy it as a player. So please don't post too many spoilers.

Does the story allow me to start the AP with #2 or do I miss the complete exposition by skipping #1. Has any one done this or something similar? What are your experiences?

Thanks for your advice!
