Hello,
I'm new to Pathfinder and RPGs in general but recently decided to try out Pathfinder with some friends. I really love the world and the system so I bought the books and ended up as GM.
I decided to run a premade campaign as our first one and according to that I was to set up my four level one players (paladin, witch, ranger and cleric) against 4 zombies. So I did that and my players all rolled extremely low on there initiative and the zombies rolled high so they got to act first. The zombies charged the PCs and managed to knock the cleric unconscious in the first round. They then proceeded to begin slaughtering the rest of the PCs. I really didn't want to kill them all off so early in the campaign so I sent some NPC friends of the PCs to aid them.
Now to my question. I set the Zombies charging which gave them +6 tohit on their slam attack. I'm unsure if they could do that, charge and slam I mean. Either way slam at 1d6+4 damage can potentially knock most level 1 characters unconscious in one attack, and pretty much all characters in two attacks.(All PCs starting att max hp for their class). And then a damage reduction against slashing makes it very difficult to kill one as fast as they need to not be killed themselves. If they're unlucky enough to only carry a slashing weapon.
Don't get me wrong here now, I want to challenge the players but since I'm not as familiar with the rules as I guess I should be I just don't want to kill them off because of that. So I'm just wondering if you can see any faults in my interpretation of the rules or the abilities of the zombies.
