Excellent review, Erik. And true.
This is yet another example of where Golarion got in the way of an otherwise good adventure.

Yeah kind of have to agree with Arnwyn and Erik (To an extent I think they could have set it in Golarion just not with a bunch of Zon-Kuthon worshipers. That tend's to dillute the sympathy. Also kind of hard to justify characters being there since if Memory serves Nidal is not a welcoming place.) Which is a pity because otherwise I really like the module

I just read MerricB's review and am curious about one point in particular. The review mentions a custom creature without a statblock from non-core material. Was this the scribbling allip? Or is there another creature you feel we should have included full stats for?
Merric has posted a more lengthy review on RPGGeek, in which he confirms that he's talking about the scribbling allip.

You don't need Undead Revisited to run that monster; that's really just an attribution giving you the place to look for more info if you want. All the necessary content from that book is right there in creature description—just add those lines to the entry from Bestiary 3 (or the PRD).

Are PCs expected to level up from 4th to 5th part way through this module?
The reason I ask is that I'm co-ordinating a Pathfinder Society group, where most people have 3rd or 4th level characters. I'm comfortable sending them up against a module intended for a group of 4th level characters (as the PCs are, on the whole, quite optimised). However, PFS characters don't level up mid-module, so they'll still be a mix of 3rd & 4th level when nearing the end of the adventure, and I don't want them to be out of their depth.
(I know this has been an issue with 1st level PFS characters nearing the end of Crypt of the Everflame (when the module expects them to be 2nd level), for example.)
Has anyone run this under PFS rules yet?

Rules Question:
** spoiler omitted **
Just considering the author's intent on atmosphere and mood-setting, I would describe those objects as being hard to turn on. Similar to a cigarette lighter that is low on fuel: you have to spin the wheel a few times and gave it a few shakes of the wrist. And then once they get them on, I would have them flicker and warble, giving off not-entirely-consistant light, like on a flashlight where the battery is going out. I would have them black out entirely at opportune moments, like right before or after a new creature comes into view. They'd come right back on (before even a full round had elapsed): the goal is to strike a mood of horror, not use it to kill your party.
Now, granted, these aren't the "rules", but this is how I would run it as a GM, because tone and atmospherics are more important than what might be buried on page 300-something of the CRB. :-)
|
Plot question:
There's a whole section in the PFS guide about running modules; that should have all the info you're looking for.
I can't remember the specific details off the top of my head, but I seem to recall modules being worth 3XP.
|
Silly question,
Since the module indicates for 4th level characters on it, I heard it can be run for PFS characters level 3 to 5 so whats the actual level rule for it?
Is it only a 1XP module?
All PFS Modules are +/-1 the "level "marked" on them, so since this is a level 4 module, you can play it with PFS characters in a "tier" 3-5. Also, all modules are 3XP / 4PP unless they are Free RPG Day modules.
Plot question:
** spoiler omitted **
The impression I got is that entering the mirror is easy - it's getting out that's impossible without "other means".

I'd like to solicit some creative ideas from the community regarding Zon-Kuthon's followers. How does a cleric of Zon-Kuthon regard a disease that's afflicting his flock? Blood-letting? Surgery? Apathy? Maybe a masochism competition where the winner gets the daily remove disease?
Another request I have is for suggestions of specific tortures or deformities that I can inflict on the PCs if they come to the Kuthite church looking for assistance. I don't want to say to a player, "The cleric will offer spells for the standard CRB rate." I don't even want to say "He'll cast the spell for you, but you'll have to undergo an hour of whipping first". I'd like to describe to the players the specific, graphic and scarring procedure that they'll have to accept in order to do business with the Church of Zon-Kuthon. Any ideas or past experiences to share?

Darkvision (Ex) Range 60 ft.; Darkvision is the extraordinary ability to see with no light source at all, out to a range specified for the creature. Darkvision is black and white only (colors cannot be discerned). It does not allow characters to see anything that they could not see otherwise-invisible objects are still invisible, and illusions are still visible as what they seem to be. Likewise, darkvision subjects a creature to gaze attacks normally. The presence of light does not spoil darkvision.
Favored Enemy (Animal) (Ex) You gain a +2 bonus on Attack rolls, Damage roll and skill checks against animals.
Low-Light Vision (Ex) You can see x2 as far as humans in low illumination. Characters with low-light vision have eyes that are so sensitive to light that they can see twice as far as normal in dim light. Low-Light Vision is color vision. A spellcaster with low-light vision can read a scroll as long as even the tiniest candle flame is next to her as a source of light. Characters with low-light vision can see outdoors on a moonlit night as well as they can during the day.
Shadow Blending Attacks against a fetchling in dim light have a 50% miss chance instead of the normal 20% miss chance. This ability does not grant total concealment; it just increases the miss chance.
Shadowy Resistance Fetchlings have cold resistance 5 and electricity resistance 5.
Skilled (Ex) Fetchlings gain a +2 racial bonus on Knowledge (planes) and Stealth checks.
Spell-Like Abilities (Sp) Fetchlings can use disguise self 1/day to assume the form of any humanoid creature.
Track (Ex) You gain +1 to Survival checks made to follow tracks.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency A ranger is proficient with all simple and martial weapons and with light armor, medium armor, and shields (except tower shields).
Wild Empathy (Ex) You can improve the attitude of an animal.

Low-Light Vision (Ex) You can see x2 as far as humans in low illumination.

Second Chance (Ex) At 3rd level, an acrobat can reroll any Acrobatics, Climb, or Fly skill check she has just made. This reroll is made at a -5 penalty. She must take the second result, even if it is worse. An acrobat can use this ability only once on any given skill check. She can use this ability once per day at 3rd level, plus one additional time per day for every 3 levels beyond 3rd. This ability replaces trap sense.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
=================================================
Darkvision (Ex) Range 60 ft.; Darkvision is the extraordinary ability to see with no light source at all, out to a range specified for the creature. Darkvision is black and white only (colors cannot be discerned). It does not allow characters to see anything that they could not see otherwise-invisible objects are still invisible, and illusions are still visible as what they seem to be. Likewise, darkvision subjects a creature to gaze attacks normally. The presence of light does not spoil darkvision.
Favored Enemy (Animal) (Ex) You gains a +2 bonus on Bluff, Knowledge, Perception, Sense Motive, and Survival checks against creatures of the selected type. Likewise, you get a +2 bonus on weapon attack and damage rolls against them. A ranger may make Knowledge skill checks untrained when attempting to identify these creatures.
Low-Light Vision (Ex) You can see x2 as far as humans in low illumination. Characters with low-light vision have eyes that are so sensitive to light that they can see twice as far as normal in dim light. Low-Light Vision is color vision. A spellcaster with low-light vision can read a scroll as long as even the tiniest candle flame is next to her as a source of light. Characters with low-light vision can see outdoors on a moonlit night as well as they can during the day.
Shadow Blending Attacks against a fetchling in dim light have a 50% miss chance instead of the normal 20% miss chance. This ability does not grant total concealment; it just increases the miss chance.
Shadowy Resistance Fetchlings have cold resistance 5 and electricity resistance 5.
Skilled (Ex) Fetchlings gain a +2 racial bonus on Knowledge (planes) and Stealth checks.
Spell-Like Abilities (Sp) Fetchlings can use disguise self 1/day to assume the form of any humanoid creature.
Track (Ex) You gain +1 to Survival checks made to follow tracks.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency A ranger is proficient with all simple and martial weapons and with light armor, medium armor, and shields (except tower shields).
Wild Empathy (Ex) A ranger can improve the initial attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check to improve the attitude of a person. The ranger rolls 1d20 and adds his ranger level and his Charisma bonus to determine the wild empathy check result. The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly.
To use wild empathy, the ranger and the animal must be within 30 feet of one another under normal visibility conditions. Generally, influencing an animal in this way takes 1 minute, but, as with influencing people, it might take more or less time.

Plot question:
** spoiler omitted **
Granted I'm a few years late to respond, but I'm reading through it now and while it says that the only way out of the mirror is to either destroy the Heart or willingly trade souls with someone on the other side of the mirror, it doesn't say anything about not being able to enter the mirror normally. Therefore, the PCs are basically "imprisoned" as per the Mirror's original function. Plus, I'm not sure who asked, but the reason Sorin has aged within the mirror is because creatures stop aging only once they've reached physical maturity.
