Blood-Draining Gaze (Su) All creatures within 20 feet of a scarlet
walker are subject to the monster's eerie blood-draining gaze. (p414 RotRL Anniversary Ed)

Is this an attack which the SW has to actually make, or does it just happen if a character is withing 20'?

Liberty's Edge

From Stone Giant stat block (Beastiary):
Melee greatclub +16/+11 (2d8+12) or 2 slams +16 (1d8+8)

From Skull Ripper stat block (RotRL Anniversary):
Melee 2 claws +20 (2d6+6/19-20 plus grab), sting +20 (1d10+6
plus poison)

Question is this, if the attack line does NOT contain an "or" does that mean the monster can use all melee attacks as a full round attack?

When a monster's dr says 15/magic and cold iron that means you need BOTH to overcome the DR, correct?

This is the first time that I've used an adventure path and I'm running into a bit of a challenge. Everyone is having fun, so no problem there, but there’s so much story that goes with Burnt Offerings (and the other modules as well, I’m sure) that can serve to make the experience richer, but little comes to light following the encounters as written.

Any suggestions on revealing more of the backstory without forced monologues? They will likely face Nualia this week and ideally they will have a pretty full understanding of what’s going on with her.

I'm more accustomed to homebrew, where this isn't a problem, and I'm sure is less of a problem for those more accustomed to using pre-written material. Suggestions?

What does this mean? Make a bite to hit roll and a trip roll? Or a trip roll if the bite hits? Or does he chose between bite/trip?

I'm running We Be Goblins shortly and looks like I'll have more on hand than I anticipated: 6 PCs. Any suggestions on scaling this? I was thinking of increasing HP of single creature fights by 50% and making the 2 dog fight 3 dogs. Thoughts?

So . . . launching this soon and we had a character generation session this week. I let everyone roll stats (best of 4d6 method). I have since learned through these forums that this AP (all APs?) is balanced for 15pt buy PCs. Did this change with the anniversary edition? Of the 5 players, 3 ended up with the equivalent of a 20/21 pt buy, but a couple got really lucky and are well above that.

I hate to tell everyone "You're OP! Re-roll!" But will that ultimately be more fun? Incidentally, it will be unusual for us to have all 5 pcs present.

Launching RotR soon, and I have a player who wants to play a sorcerer with undead bloodline who lives to destroy evil - but does so as judge, jury and executioner. No quarter. Views him as a very dark character - a sort of incarnation of the Grim Reaper. What alignment makes the most sense?

Am I correct in concluding that there are no GameMastery maps to go with APs? I'm aware of the RotRL Map Folio, but my understanding is that it contains no actual grid battle maps.

If this is true, Paizo is missing out on a solid revenue opportunity. What's the point of beautifully illustrated maps that only the DM looks at? Not that I don't appreciate having nice looking maps in my source material, but I'm not coming close to that when I start scribbling on our battle mat.

Or are some of the map packs based on AP encounter maps?

So . . . played Basic & 1e way back when and jumped into 4e a couple of years ago, about to make the switch to PF.

First question: is there a GM forum here? If so, seems I can't find it.

Second: About to launch RotRL and I'm stoked. As we are new to this rule system I'm inclined to limit source materials to Core. However, one of my players really wants to play a Magus. I'm all about empowering players to be awesome and maximize their fun, but I'm concerned about opening up access to too much material right off the bat.

Thoughts?

Looking at launching a new campaign and wanted to go with pre-printed material and take a break from writing up everything.

I wanted to hear from folks as to what their favorite APs have been & why - both from a player & GM perspective.

TIA for any input!
