So I remember reading something about Hero Points for the older sets and how when they are earned are just used for re-rolls and resurrection.

What I can't find is how you earn Hero Points in the RotR or earlier sets?
Is it when you complete a chapter?
A Scenario?
A Scenario that only gives you a boon?

So using nine ring sword let's you use acrobatics for combat and shark skin armor gives you +1die on acrobatics checks.

Is that legal to combine? Or is shark skin only for non combat?

Hello,
Since enervation effects levels of a PC ,but Familiars don't have levels per say they are based off the caster, would Enervation even cause effects to a familiar?

I would say you would roll and that is how it's BAB,saves,CMB etc... are effected.

Does an aboleth have a skeleton under all that fish?

Would it's tentacles remain after the spell? Do they have any bone structure there?

Does it retain it's EX abilities when it is brought back? I know the slime cloud it gone due to the lack of flesh. What about Slime strike?
When you animate dead you lose all EX that don't improve attack or damage?

So two of my PC's are evil alignment and they quickly went from Murder Hobos to causing a major fire at Bloodcove.

It seems they sold things at Bloodcove that were owned by the AspisC and therefore they were attacked by a Brute squad(hired by AspisC).

The one just lets loose with Fireball after Fireball and catches the buildings on fire as well for it is a dry season after all.

So I have now a major enemy and they don't know it yet. I know that Bloodcove is on the fringes of the Shackles ,but the reach of the AspisC has a far reach.

Can you say Bounty Hunters or Assassins around every corner?

Can you apply Familiar Archetype to Improved Familiars? I have found threads that say no for they can only be applied to animals.

But I have a player who says Sage Archetype is ok for it doesn't apply to animals. I don't have any problem really with what they are doing ,but for my piece of mind I wanted to know what the RAW is?

If a character has negative Int penalty say -2, can he ever gain skill ranks if he is of the fighter or sorcerer class other then favorite class bonus?

When you make the above 1st level character does he get any skill ranks at all to start with the class of fighter or sorcerer?
