<p>As far as I can see you would be able to get through the door just fine, but be unable to recover the maneuver before you had once again been in combat. </blockquote><p>But Then again, you start with all maneuvers ready at the beginning of combat.
<p>As for the Ghoat: A ghoat is obviously the spirit of a dead goat. They are knowing for their haunting bleats, spectral horns, and ability to fly anywhere you dont want you goat to be.</p>Wondering Lars wrote:But wouldn't you have problems with maneuver recovery?

Soo, I was struck by a bit of inspiration not too long ago. I wanted to make a Vampire Wiz/Harbinger Gestalt boss to a Gothic Horror module I am going to make. I know, I know... A single BBEG at the end of a module wont work. And I am going to add some spice to the inevitable fight. But what I have written below is what I have got so far. I havent picked manouvers and stances yet, but I will get around to it eventually. I am a bit influenced by the 3.5 Ravenloft adventure, and want to rid myself of most of that for the making of the module, but so far I am focusing on this guy whom I have named "Not-Strahd" as a placeholder.</p>
<p>The story of this guy is still a bit vague. I was thinking he was an adventurer in his life before becoming a vampire, and he is struggling hard with his curse. I think there will be an option in the module to turn him back to a human with the use of an Elixir of True Resurrection which I have called "Elixir of the Radiant Dawn". I do not think it will be as easy as to just show up with it and offering it to him. This guy is also surrounded by a cult of Urgathoa whom worships him as some kind of Harbinger of Some Important Urgathoan event (Harbinger; Lame pun intended). They have set up shop with him in his mansion, and are helping him restore his ancestral Castle. He himself isnt that devout, but the vampire in him gives her a kind of respect.</p>
<p>The module itself will be some sort of open "sandbox" with info about what each major NPC and Faction is doing each day. I have yet to decide if the module will start in a low level and progress to higher levels, or begin mid-level. Only time will tell I guess. Oh, and I am wondering about giving every Major Boss the Dual initiative Mythic ability, just to avoid some of the action economy problems. If anyone have some ideas, help, constructive criticisms, experience with harbingers, experience with creating modules, experience with NPC balancing... and so forth, I would love some feedback.
<br />
I used 20pts buy for his stats and half Character gold for his stuff (mind you he crafted his of shit) This would probably be at the end of the campaign anyways so good loot should not be a problem. I felt the Elite NPC array would not convey my thoughts on this guy.</p>

<br />
We are going to start at level 6 and have 2 ability scores start at 18 and roll for the rest.</p>
<p>So I asked the GM if I could play as a Leadbelcher (it was either that or a Bavarian Barbarian xD) and I got the green light for it!</p>
<p>So a few things about my character concept. I am going to carry a huge cannon(<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qaymey1r-Ik/UDyiQJYgKhI/AAAAAAAAAbI/RljH1jP6T-M/s1600/Lead+Belcher+Ogre+Frostfang+(2).jpg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Picture for those who dont know what a LeadBelcher is.</a>)
<br />
I was thinking that I would Load it with various scrap metal, and have a score of goblins to reload and such for me. I also thought that maybe having a huge beartrap on a chain for trowing might be fun, and ofcourse the beartrap fighting glove as a melee weapon. :D</p>
<p>All of our characters are supposed to be well known mercenaries from our homelands, so we start at level 6 (and end at level 6 since this is a one shot)
<br />
So I thought maybe 1 level gunslinger and 5 levels Barbarian might be a suitable way to go.</p>
<p>So what I want advice on is: How would you make this character? Any Feats, Archetypes, or Classes I should think about using?</p>
<p>How would you stat my weapons?</p>
<p>Anything else?</p>
<p>Thank you for taking time to read through all my rambling!</p>So, me and some friends of mine are going to play a oneshot of drunken Pathfinder tonight, so the rules are a bit loose.

<br />
I am thinking of DMing the Carrion Crown AP, because i really like gothic horror, and i really wanted to play pathfinder again.
<br />
But the thing is: I am going to have 6 players. that is 50% more than what the adventure is made for, and it worries me that there will be no challenge.
<br />
A couple of them are very good at making effective characters, but i have already told them not to powergame this.</p>
<p>How should I go about making it more challenging? Do I need to make it more challenging?
<br />
Should I make each encounter have 50% more creatures? But then, how will bosses work?</p>
<p>I am really worried, and I am looking forward to your answers! Thank you guys very much :)</p>Ok so here is the deal.
