Adding side encounters


Shattered Star


In looking at the Shattered Star AP I think I may need to add some side encounters.
It just seems to me that going from level 1 to 18 or so in what, a game year, is a bit unrealistic.

What type of spacing would anyone recommend in placing side quests, and do you think the extra treasure will create a problem?
I'm not to worried about the extra XP since I just have the players advance when it seems appropriate.

Thanks

Hey Erich, I'll leave advice for best placement and how extra treasure might affect your game to others in this thread, but I wanted to point you to a few sources for extra encounters in case you didn't have any lined up.

In Pathfinder #63 there is an article called Missions in Magnimar that provides three brief side quests a GM can use when the PCs are back at home base. The three encounters are set at CR 8, CR 12, and CR 14.

Also, the first page of the Bestiary have three little encounter seeds that can be further fleshed out relatively easily.
