Good adventure path for 3 players

[Rasta]

Hello, me and my group are new to PF. We are gonna start playing PF, and I'm wondering if you can recommend an adventure path that will be suitable for 3 players? I've been looking mainly at Legacy of Fire, as that's what caught my attention first.

But I later realized that this was made for 3.5. Anyway, do you think LoF would be a suitable challenge for a party of 3, or is there some other adventure path that would fit this better?

Any AP works with 3 players, if you're new try Rise of the Runelords Aniversary edition. Its a good starting AP. AP's are based around a pary of 4 pc's at 15 point buy so maybe give them a 20 point buy for abilites to start them off and maybe an NPC if you need to (I GM with 3 players, gave them 20 point buy and everything has been fine for me). If you have the APG maybe use the Hero points form it, it could help them out. Best thing to do is just run it and see how the encounters pan out, if they are too hard just adjust them as needs be.

AP's for a new GM NOT to start on would be Legacy of Fire, Crimson Throne, Second Darkness and Original Runelords as you will need to convert the 3.5 stuff to Pathfinder, it doable and fairly easy to do but Its going to be a lot easier for you to stick to the pathfinder ruleset ones to start with, save yourself the time and effort and run an AP with minimal extra prep work. When you are competent with the rules and how things play with the group then yes convert away if you want.

For complexity don't start with Skull and Shackles, its great but requires a competent GM who knows the rules (lots of new subsets that will just confuse everyone to start with), and don't go with Serpents Skull either its not that good and VERY hard to run right, even for an experienced GM.

Hope that helps

Thanks, will probably go with RotR anniversary edition then. :)

I should perhaps say that I'm not entirely new as I've played 3.0 and 3.5 before. But that was years ago, so I appreciate minimum conversion work and stuff like that. :)

We've already decided to go with 20 point buy, so it's great that you recommend it. :)

My group likes challenges though, so I hope RotR will prove challenging. :)

Thanks for the help.
