Adventure Paths Errata / conversions

[gruevy]

My group has just started running Curse of the Crimson Throne, and I've got a couple problems with it. Firstly, it refers to the dnd 3.5 monster manual for stuff, etc, which made me realize it's not on the Pathfinder system. Is there a conversion list or errata released for it, and if so, can I get a link?

Secondly, #7, the first one, never says about what level the characters should be at any of the various points in the campaign. Is there an errata or something similar that says that by point X characters should be level Y?

We all love the adventure, the flavor, etc and are having fun with it, btw. Thanks for the great product.

To answer the 2nd question first, most APs are designed with Ch 1 for CL 1-3, Ch2 for CL 4-6, Ch3 for CL 7-9, etc. There's some room for fudging, but that's approximate, based upon the ELs for each chapter.

I've found for CoCT (which I'm running using PFRPG) that the fast track for XP is working pretty well, since it most closely matches the 3.5 XP track.

As for the first question, you have a few options:
A) Use the 3.5 stats as presented, doing skill and CMB conversions on the fly.
B) Do your own conversions - this works fine at the lower levels, but is a bit more work as you proceed.
C) Use conversions others have done. The CoCT message boards here have some conversions. Here is a link for conversion of Chapter 2, 7 Days to the Grave . It doesn't seem like anybody has done one for the first chapter, Edge of Anarchy, but its pretty easy to do with option A or B.

Also, where it says to look at the MM, then simply use the stats from the Pathfinder Bestiary.

Hopes this helps. I've just completed Chapter 2 and we are having a great time with this AP.

You can pretty much run the 3.5 APs under PF rules with no changes necessary. All you need to do is calculate CMB, CMD and Concentration totals for the monsters and voila. I am running RotRL under PFRPG and it goes really smooth.

I've run the first 2 by, as Gorbacz suggests, convertuing on the fly but it is getting harder as the combatants get more complex. This thread here has the conversions for the 3rd in the AP so I'm going to be trying that out.

There's also a comment above suggesting using the fast progression for xp and I support that. My group are just getting to 7th at the end of the second book using that progression table. There's 5 of them so that's just about right.
