how to solve the problem of "Less fighting = Less looting"....

I think you are coming at this from the wrong direction.

Kill one of the PCs and point out how much money went into paying for the Raise Dead... Wait, you mean we could have just made a bluff check and walked by that encounter? So, we got the loot from a few "bad guys" and now we have a bunch of Orc weapons and armor to fence - how much does that stuff weigh? This only cost us the diamond dust for one raise dead, 2 potions of Cure Moderate Wounds, a dozen magic arrows and 6 castings of remove disease... not to mention that we can't go back to that town 'cause we killed half the town guards.

How much did that last fight burn up in consumables? Potions of Lesser Restoration, Scrolls of Fly, Vials of Anti-toxin, wait - when the Evil Mooks turned the Rust Monster loose on the Fighter and it ate his platemail and sword? eeek!

Yeah - there's the problem of "Less fighting = Less looting"... but that is sort of related to the problem "Less fighting = Less costs"....

Has anyone besides me used her as the BBE?

Wait - Kendra is the BAD GUY?:

Using simulacrums to keep the party on the trail to
1) kill off her rivals in the Way (Vrood, the Grey Friar, the Witches of Barstoi, and Lucimar as well as just generally doing a bit of "house cleaning").
2) retrieve the Raven's Head (which she knew thru divinations would be recovered by Heros - so she get's them to hand it to her "for safe keeping").
3) Distract/Placate the Order of the Pal. Eye - getting them to assist in getting Her to the right place at the right time, with everything she needs...
4) Thus using the strengths of those against her to assist in her ultimate victory... (insert BBE speech here)! (Evil Laugh!)

In other words - leading to the big reveal at the end where they find out they have been played all time, and they assisted in bringing back the Tyrant, and creating his new Queen... unless they can stop her...

I figure both are pretty much the same creature - Skum are just Deep Ones with the serial number filed off...

or something like that.

I actually see very little reason to change them - what would it change? how would it change up the scenario?

figured I'd drop this here...

Go to Yang Kyoung.

"Yang Kyoungjong (Korean: 양경종) is the name of a Korean soldier who, according to some historians, fought in the Imperial Japanese Army, the Soviet Red Army, and later the German Wehrmacht during World War II. He is, to date, the only soldier in recent history thought to have fought on three sides of a war, and this status has earned him recognition." .. yeah, "Press Ganged" three times...

Also reporting, not that it matters in face to face gaming. You would just say, "His name on Paizo is 'Tom' but he goes by 'Superious' now."

When GMs (or VOs) report, there's a section where the linked character name pops up when you enter the PFS# plus character#. It helps us to know we've got the right character if we know what that name will be.

But you could tell people at the table to call your character something different every game, if you wanted, really.

wow... I know the name for my next PC now. "Something Different"...

Thanks!
