Leveling in the Skinsaw Murders

[Walt Ciechanowski]

Assuming that the PCs are 4th level at the end of Burnt Offerings, does anyone have an idea of where to set the "leveling milestones" at in the Skinsaw Murders?

Thanks!

I think before the missgivings and end of the misgivings and right before they fight Xanesha

When I ran it, I found that each time that the book say "Part X: Something", I give out XP. The players were able to take on enemies without being too strong or too weak.

Make suer to bring them up to Level 7 before they fight Xanesha. That is one tough fight.

Thanks for the replies!

I should have mentioned that I'm running this with 6 PCs, using the Beta (and only the Beta) rules. We have a cleric, 2 fighters, a monk, a rogue, and a sorceror.

Currently, they leveled to two just after

in Burnt Offerings. I'm planning ahead.

Do you think 7th level is necessary for the final fight, given that the Beta classes are a touch more powerful than vanilla 3.5?

She is pretty Bad A$$ but so are Pathfinder PCs so maybe give it a try.

There is a post somewhere that details the possible XP for Burnt Offerings at various stages and it comes out like this:

Raid: 450
Glassworks: 975*
Catacombs: 2325
Ripnugget: 5401*
Nualia: 8252*
Malfeshnekor: 10,052*

*assumed leveling point (For some reason I had the info and not the link? Apologies to whoever did the hard work as I'm sorry I can't credit them.)

So the players could be 5th by the end of Burnt Offerings if they complete it all but are likely to be 4th.

Would be useful if someone could do this for Skinsaw and other modules (he says, hoping someone will offer).

I did it once for all of them cause i was going to scale it through 20 levels, its at home somewhere
