My group ran the Acropolis of the thrallkeepers during the last game session and they played it pretty badly. they let the wizzard alone on the lower level with 2 red mantis assassins. It happended what should have happened. They found the wiz'body 5 rounds later. So they are now thinking about going back to Kaer maga and visit the temple of Pharasma (one player is a cleric of this god) to get it back alive. They also asked help to the new friend , the shadow count Sial. This one cannot cast resurection yet but he is able call a plannar ally who could - an efreet. my main question is: do you think he will do it ? and at what price ? will the efreet agreed ? and at what price ?</p>

Reta started by licking a wonderful rock she just noticed. soon after, Poog decided to get the complete collection of the rock liked by reta. In the third round, the thief had his arse hitching and needed to rub it against a tree. And, on the last round, the sorcerer needed to pee (because of the sound of the water).

During the fight they rolled 3 fumble. Reta released her bow instead of the arrow. the gunslinger misfired and the alchemist threw a bomb (up in the tree) that came down directly on him.

<br />

<br />
Treasure standard</p>
<p>SPECIAL ABILITIES</p>
<p>Fast Healing (Ex) A hydra's fast healing ability is equal to its current number of heads (minimum fast healing 5). This fast healing applies only to damage inflicted on the hydra's body.
<br />
Hydra Traits (Ex) A hydra can be killed by severing all of its heads or slaying its body. Any attack that is not an attempt to sever a head affects the body, including area attacks or attacks that cause piercing or bludgeoning damage. To sever a head, an opponent must make a sunder attempt with a slashing weapon targeting a head. A head is considered a separate weapon with hardness 0 and hit points equal to the hydra's HD. To sever a head, an opponent must inflict enough damage to reduce the head's hit points to 0 or less. Severing a head deals damage to the hydra's body equal to the hydra's current HD. A hydra can't attack with a severed head, but takes no other penalties.
<br />
Regenerate Head (Ex) When a hydra's head is destroyed, two heads regrow in 1d4 rounds. A hydra cannot have more than twice its original number of heads at any one time. To prevent new heads from growing, at least 5 points of acid or fire damage must be dealt to the stump (a touch attack to hit) before they appear. Acid or fire damage from area attacks can affect stumps and the body simultaneously. A hydra doesn't die from losing its heads until all are cut off and the stumps seared by acid or fire.
<br />
engulf (Ex) A head can try to wrap and lift a Medium or smaller creature in its body as a standard action. The cloaker attempts a grapple that does not provoke an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and bites the engulfed victim with a +4 bonus on its attack roll. Attacks that hit an engulfing head deal half their damage to the monster and half to the trapped victim.
<br />
moan (Ex) the hydra can emit an infrasonic moan as a standard action, with one of four effects. Fear: All creatures in a 30-foot spread must save (Will negates) or become panicked for 2 rounds. Nausea: All creatures in a 30-foot cone must save (Fortitude negates) or fall prone and be nauseated for 1d4+1 rounds. Stupor: A single creature within 30 feet is affected by hold monster for 5 rounds (Will negates). Unnerve: Anyone within a 60-foot spread automatically takes a -2 penalty on attack and damage rolls. Those in the area for more than 6 consecutive rounds must save (Will negates) or enter a trance, helpless until the moaning stops. the hydra is immune to these sonic, mind-affecting attacks. A creature that successfully saves against the hydra's fear, nausea, or unnerve moans cannot be affected by that same moan effect from that hydra for 24 hours. All of the save DCs against a hydra's moan are DC 15. Save DCs are Charisma-based.
<br />
Shadow Shift (Su) When in dim illumination, a hydra can manipulate shadows as a free action to create one of three effects: blur (lasts 1d4 rounds, self only), mirror image (CL 6th), or silent image (DC 15, CL 6th, save DC is Charisma-based). </p>
<p>Multiple cloak-like heads rise from the sleek, lizard-like body of this terrifying monster.
<br />
You can make more powerful hydraCloakers by increasing their Hit Dice-each added HD increases the monster's statistics as appropriate, but also gives it one additional head and a +1 increase to its natural armor. The CR increases by +1 for each Hit Die it gains.
<br />
It is said that a bloodsoaking hydracloaker exist. Replace the 1d6 dmg by 1d4 CON damage for every engulfed creature. Increase the hydra's CR by 2</p>hello!

<br />
well, on the top of my head, there is this DR5/good that is pretty high in fact for a 3HD monster (remember that only paladin can produce good weapon, or the weapon needs to be +4 to bypass it) I would say DR5/bludgeoning.
<br />
the int of 3 on the other hand, is pretty low. I don't expect a monster to trip its ennemies with such an int. BTW how did it get so many skill points ? you might exchange int and wis.</p>

<br />
first of all: the group is level 6 but they are built with 23pt (as far as I can remember): there is one ceric, magus, cavalier archer, wizard (evocation), bard and alchemist. They are quite efficients.
<br />
for exemple they put down the Rakshasa in the vivified labyrinth without too much trouble. So a CR from 8 to 10 should do.</p>
<p>Now about her (any idea of a name BTW ?)
<br />
8 of int is because of the gargoyle part that is quite numb... (half fiend get +2int)...but this is also why I have so much trouble finding what to do with her.
<br />
No social skill yet because I just created her with the basic rules (applying the half fiend succubus template to the gargoyle). I will add them with the class's skillpoints.</p>
<p>for her special abilities:
<br />
Freeze (Ex) A gargoyle can hold itself so still it appears to be a statue. A gargoyle that uses freeze can take 20 on its Stealth check to hide in plain sight as a stone statue.
<br />
passion (Su) A half-succubus drains energy from a mortal she lures into an act of passion—unwilling victims must be grappled before the half-succubus can use this ability. The passion bestows one negative level. A half- succubus can use this ability a number of times per day equal to her Hit Dice. The save DC to remove one of these negative levels is equal to 10 + the half-succubus’s HD + her Cha modifier.
<br />
change shape (Su) A half-succubus can use this ability to assume the form of any humanoid creature of her size, as if using alter self, once per day.
<br />
smite good (Su) Once per day, as a swift action, the half-fiend can smite good as the smite evil ability of a paladin of the same level as the half-fiend’s Hit Dice, except affecting a good target. The smite persists until target is dead or the half-fiend rests.</p>
<p>I was also thinking about rogue, but monk could be fun too. </p>
<p>Her secret goal is to take control of all the wild gargoyles that lives close to kaer Maga.
<br />
I was thinking about her abilities to "shape change" to introduce her to the group as a victim of some bandits. She will present herself as a "commercial facilitator" sent by the dwarves to help them negociate the purchase of a couple of golems in the Prison-city. So obviously, bluff and diplomacy will be my choice.</p>
<p>-sorcerer. I also though about that but she will not gain any bonus from her bloodline :/

<br />
I'm running the CoCT AP with 6 players. They just finish the 3rd book and are moving to kaer Maga. I wanted to add some challenge during their journey and came up with an Half gargoyle - half succubus concept (from demon revisited).
<br />
The girl is quite a big bad girl imho. I really like her ability to turn back into stone with a man crushed between her arms... anyway, This monster is only a CR6 and She will not have a chance in front of the group. So I decided to give her some class level. But which one ?
<br />
any suggestion ?</p>

I'm running the CoCT AP with 6 players. They just finish the 3rd book and are moving to kaer Maga. I wanted to add some challenge during their journey and came up with an Half gargoyle - half succubus concept (from demon revisited).
The girl is quite a big bad girl imho. I really like her ability to turn back into stone with a man crushed between her arms... anyway, This monster is only a CR6 and She will not have a chance in front of the group.

I have a quite erasy and (i think) usefull suggestion. Could you exchange the "roll init" and the "next turn" buttons places ?

After all, in one combat, you need to roll the initiative once but you need to push the "next turn" button several times. so the bigger button should go to the most frequently used funfunctionality (imho). </p>

<br />
This chapter describes how a PC can spend his time between two adventures. One of these activities is to work using his skills.
<br />
For one day of skilled work: roll your skill check: this is what you earn in SP. So with a roll of 10 you get 1gp, and with a roll of 40 you get 4pg.
<br />
I when back to the Pathfinder Society field guide that proposed (on page 3) a Day job check rewards: the formula to approximate the table is gp = 0.0098 x DC exp 2.5924 . In other words with a roll of 10 you get 5 gp, and with a roll of 40 you earn 150pg ! </p>
<p>4 vs 150 ?</p>
<p>how to explain such a difference ?
<br />
which system is the more balanced ?</p>
<p>note that a 5th lvl gnome alchemist can make several potions (with the proper tools and feats) on a working day and can earn much much more money than that.</p>I just downloaded my version of the Ultimate Campaign and the Downtime system puzzled me.

<p>Quickly, I will say that the Curse of the Crimson Throne AP was written for dungeons and dragons 3.5e, and Pathfinder characters are just innately more powerful than 3.5e characters, so you will HAVE to increase the difficulty of nearly every encounter if you want to keep things a bit dangerous for the PCs. (Danger adds drama, so it's good to at least have some encounters feel like they could end in horrible, horrible death, even if the don't in the end.) In many encounters with BBEGs, I add the advanced template (+2 to all stats) and even add minions on top of that depending on the encounter. Since I have 6 players, I also keep them a level behind where the book expects them to be at any given time - which effectively reduces their effectiveness to that of a party of 5. (Each of their actions are less valuable because their lower attack rolls will miss, or the monsters will resist their lower DC spells.)</p>
<p>Between the fact that Pathfinder creates stronger characters, the fact that the AP expects a party of 4 players and 15 point buy, and where you are actually (most people actually play 20 or 25 point buy for some reason), it could get out of hand quickly. Give me some details and I'll make some additional suggestions. </blockquote><p>half elf Magus

human lure cavalier of the secret order

human wiz, specialized in evocation</p>
<p>they had 25pt. yes, I know it's too much. My main big mistake</p>
<p>for the NPC and monsters I'm using the conversion suggested on the forum. They are lvl 5 at the beggining of the 3rd book. And I did add a little bit of gold (10%) during the first part of the AP. </p>

</blockquote><p>You are absolutely right (and this is one of the worst thing in the 4th ed, the difference between encounters and pc)
<p>I might change my suggestion this way. "when one team is fighting at one vs many, the one can act twice. It reflect the last stand heroic fight, even for the npc" in this case the rule is the same for everyone (pc included)</p>
<p>Adding level or feats and so on, don't seems a good idea. Of course you will change the stats, but the fight by itself will not be that different. (in other words, the high priest will still cast one spell on her round and higher is her level and higher are the risk of a TPK imho)
<br />
if you played the Curse, you know what the hight priest of Urghatoa looks like. The PC managed to kill her in two rounds thanks to a 1-lvl spell cast by the bard. she acted only one time, then she failed her Saves and was dazed. Then she took 10+ attacks and died. There is no feat that can change this (except on the success failure of the Saving Throw)... I'm not sure I made my point clear :/</p>
