This is a broader concern than just Joey's guide, but to answer your question:
1) Use milestones for experience, and then the larger budget doesn't factor in as a problem.
2) If you refuse to use milestones, just switch to Medium XP track so you level slower.
3) Are your players experienced? They likely won't die, especially right off the bat. My party of entirely new players has still managed to get through the first 4 books using Joey's encounters and a lot of homebrew (also using the GM's Guide to Creating Challenging Encounters).
Also, for an update for folks:
I'm almost finished with Book 5's rebuilding. I've been making a lot of Book 4 homebrew, so it hasn't been a huge priority, but the Iron Cages of Lust and the Shimmering Veils of Pride are finished.
Any chance you would be able to share your updates? My party is about to be finishing book 4 with 5 players and these conversions have been a life saver so far.
To Joey Virtue, I hate to see that yo have stopped, but I completely understand. I have loved your work thus far and thank you for all the hard work you have prevented myself and countless GMs from having to trudge through.

Hi there folks! I feel like I should give an update.
I made new stat blocks for every encounter in Books 5 and most of Book 6 of Rise of the Runelords for my campaign, but I have two things preventing me from sharing them.
1) My party switched to Automatic Bonus Progression (Pathfinder Unchained) during Book 5, meaning I changed every stat block I had up to that point to have significantly less wealth and buffs that I don't really know how to note in a standard stat block.
2) I don't really know a good method for publishing these stat blocks. I personally keep them all as PDFs, and I'd have no issue uploading them for others to use . . . if I knew where/how.
That said, if people are still interested in receiving these stat blocks, here are some examples of updates I made.
Daughter of Delvahine - Advanced Alu-Demon Samurai 6 (Warrior Poet) (CR 12)
Warrior of Wrath - Human Magus 10 (Sigilus) (CR 9)
Sinspawn Axe Warrior - Wrathwarped Wrathspawn Fighter 6 (CR 10)
Highlady Athroxis - Azlanti Pureblooded Human Fighter 2 / Evoker 6 / Eldritch Knight 10 (CR 17)
Updated Horror Tree (CR 16) and Wendigo (CR 18)
Unchained Vampiric Skulks (CR 12) and re-worked Hidden Beast (CR 17)
Mythic Gamigin (CR 18) and Updated Scarlet Walkers (CR 14)
Mythic Ceoptra (CR 21), updated Viorian Dekanti (CR 19) and Chronomancer Karzoug (CR 21)
Stat blocks for: Denizens of Leng (CR 11), Moon Beast Priests (CR 15), Cloud Giant Bards (CR 14), Storm Giants (CR 15), Lamia Priestesses of Divine Consumption (CR 13-14), Lamia Matriarch Ninjas (CR 16) and Necromancers (CR 17), Juju Zombie Lamia Priestesses (CR 13), Svevenka (CR 17), Fungal Stone Giants (CR 13), Kuchrima Rangers (CR 10)
Stuff I haven't updated yet: Ghlorofaex, Giant Sentinels, Khalib, Abominable Snowmen, Wardens of Runes, Hungerers, Warden of Wind, Leng Spiders
Somewhat surprisingly, my extremely extended Rise game has picked up speed during the pandemic after we went virtual, and I for one would greatly appreciate whatever you have Askar. I also use Unchained and splash Mythic ranks for my enemies.
I'm sure we're not the only ones who use this pairing.
Edit: I find it particularly intriguing that you made the basic Wrathlings Magi, but not the Highlady. I'm now VERY curious.

Best method I've been able to find so far is Google Drive. I'm a little confused about the Permissions, but if I understand correctly, I can start by handing out permissions on a folder-by-folder basis.
With that stated:
Book 5 Part 6: The Iron Cages of Lust
The folder contains a notes page formatting in roughly the same way as this thread for reference. It also contains explanations for additional monsters I may have added, loot changes, or notes about homebrew beyond simply adding HD. For instance, in Book 5 Part 6, Delvahine uses the stat block for a Greater Succubus, a homebrewed demon I found online.
I am only about to finish book One, but looking forward to seeing where this goes. Looks like this isn't quite the whole set, so hope others finish it off. I appreciate everything done so far and it is working well. Someone set up a Rise of the Runelords discord server if anyone is interested in joining us over there https://discord.gg/7uAaXrpR

Hello folks! If you'd like my conversion for the rest of Runeforge, I can have that out in about 2 weeks. My party is currently in Xin-Shalast and I hadn't heard if people actively needed these, so I was focusing on finishing my campaign before updating here.
In the meantime, please feel free to make use of the next section as well.

Book 5 Part 8: The Festering Maze.
My campaign is back on, and now that we're in the Pinnacle of Avarice (and thus I'm done making stat blocks for my own group), I've looped back to this project! Part 8 is done now, and I'm going to be revising Part 9 based on the experiences of my own group (who absolutely stomped the Halls of Wrath, despite it ostensibly being higher CR than the other wings).
The info is on a Google Sheet past that link, but here's a copy for the thread:

Quick update this time; here's Book 5 Part 9: The Halls of Wrath.
Part Nine: The Halls of Wrath
K1 Iron Guardians (CR 16)
- 4 PCs: 2 Iron Archers (unchanged)
- 5 PCs:
- 6 PCs: 3 Iron Archers (unchanged)
Loot changed to:
2 diamonds worth 5,000gp per iron archer

- 5 PCs: Highlady Athroxis and 1 Advanced Glabrezu
- 6 PCs: Highlady Athroxis and 2 Glabrezu
Note: Highlady Athroxis wields a +1 adamantine sadistic fauchard. If you’d prefer not to include a runeforged weapon in her gear, swap it for a +1 adamantine flaming burst fauchard, then lower her AC by 1 and her initiative by 2.
Stat blocks behind the link as always. Note that I haven't playtested these stat blocks, as my party absolutely crushed the CR 9 and 10 soldiers I was using and didn't fight Athroxis at all, but I think they'll hold their own with the advantage of superior numbers.

The timing is perfect! If my party survives their current encounter, they will be going to this wing next.
They decided to split the party, and now fighting both the nightshade and Azavan. The ranger is dead (nightshade; 3 attacks) and the cleric is unconscious (8 hp, 85 non-lethal; Azavan; after confirmed crit from disintegrate but saved from aegis of recovery and buffering cap). 3 characters(arcanist, dirge bard, and 2-weapon fighter) remain...

A Runelord Enraged (CR 16+)
- Max out the Karzoug Statue’s HP (340hp) and increase its slow (DC 25) radius to 15’
1. Figure out which monsters have survived the party’s exploration of Runeforge. Arkrhyst, Athroxis, Azaven, Ordikon, and Delvahine are definitely ones to look out for, but a few minor creatures may have escaped notice, such as the Fiendish Mustard Jelly or Xyoddin Xerriock.
2. Declare that the surge of power from the forging of a runeforged weapon and the animation of the Karzoug Statue has drawn the attention of others within Runeforge.
3. Introduce new creatures to the central Runeforge hub every turn for 4 turns, either attacking the party, attacking the statue, or both as appropriate.
4. If this is the party’s first time encountering one of these creatures, give them an opportunity to use Diplomacy, Bluff, Intimidate, or other forms of trickery to turn the various creatures against each other.
On top of preventing the party from simply ganging up on the statue, this also gives the Karzoug Statue an opportunity to flex its special abilities - petrifying and shattering a Warrior of Wrath, or being fully healed by Ordikon’s transmute mud to rock. The fact that the party will be resistant to these abilities, as well as uniquely capable of damaging the statue (with dominant weapons), should sell exactly how big of an advantage they’ve earned themselves. The inclusion of other creatures can also sell the value of other runeforged weapons in the event that not everyone forged a dominant weapon.
I have an additional homebrew suggestion regarding Covetous weapons behind the link, if you think your party may be interested in non-dominant runeforged weapons.

I'll get started on that next week, Miles. I'll admit I'm pretty stumped on how to buff the haunts and traps of the Vekker Cabin, especially given they're explicitly not supposed to be real threats, but the actual combat encounters of Part 2 are pretty easy to modify.
My Part 3 and 4 are mostly finished already, given that's where my group was when I got back to this project. You can access the full catalog here, but consider the contents therein a WIP and double-check them yourself. My party had excellent anti-archery abilities, so I didn't hesitate to throw 16 high-damage archers at them at once, but balancing that for more general parties isn't quite where I'm at yet.
I'm currently focusing on Book 6 Part 7, as my party has reached the Pinnacle and begun raiding it.

This is really cool you guys took over this project sorry I dropped out of it I will have to go and read what you guys have added to it.

Book 6: The Spires of Xin-Shalast
Part 1: Seeking Xin-Shalast
As your party escapes Runeforge, They will now level up to 15!
There are many potential methods to allow your party to buy and sell things after Part 1, but two options I like in particular are:
1) A mercane senses a business opportunity in the party, giving them a chest of the mercane to allow them to sell item drops for money. Then, near the conclusion of Part 4, the Mercane finds its way to Xin-Shalast and sells them any items they have requested.
2) A powerful being is also traveling into/within Xin-Shalast, such as Baba Yaga, allowing the party to buy and sell things at multiple points throughout the book.

Part 2: Whispers in the Wind
B1 The Tailings (CR 16)
- 4 PCs: 1 Horror Tree
- 5 PCs:
- 6 PCs: 1 Advanced Horror Tree
Treasure: Cracked backpack, 50gp, 1 elixir of the peaks, and:
- Diamond worth 500gp per PC
- 3 +1 seeking limning crossbow bolts per PC
B4 Sack Room
Treasure changed to:
- 4 PCs: Boots of the Winter Jarl
- 5 PCs:
- 6 PCs: Rime-Stride Boots
B5 Ore Separation (CR 11)
LN haunt (all of area B5)
Caster Level 11th
Notice Perception DC 25 (to notice the shadowy image of Silas crouching in the corner)
hp 22; Trigger proximity; Reset 1 minute
Effect Silas’s words function as a mass suggestion spell; anyone who hears him must succeed at a DC 20 Will save to resist the compulsion to scoop up and eat a handful of the arsenic-tainted dirt on the room’s floor. The haunt enhances the already deadly effects of the arsenic in this case—anyone who eats the stuff must make a DC 25 Fortitude save against the effects of arsenic poisoning. Silas watches as anyone eats, and as the victim feels the poison flowing through his system, the haunted character sees Silas suddenly shrink in on himself, grow emaciated, and then fly apart in a red explosion of bite-sized morsels of flesh and bone. An instant later, he is gone—but only for a minute, after which he appears again. Anyone who fails the initial Will save is also exposed to wendigo psychosis (DC 26 Will save).
B6 Ore Shaft (CR 9)
The Haunted Chain creature is replaced with the following haunt.
CE belligerent haunt (upper half of B6)
Caster Level 9th
Notice Perception 20 (to hear the subtle movement of chains)
hp 54; Trigger proximity; Reset 1 minute
Effect As soon as the tipping stairs are triggered (or just before the PCs are about to exit the room), the spirits haunting the cabin manifest by animating the chain hanging from the ceiling here. The chain twists like an immense snake as it animates, coiling over and across itself. Every turn, it attempts a grapple check with a CMB of +20. If it succeeds, it wraps around its target’s body and neck, and makes a drag check with a CMB of +20, pulling them towards or into the shaft itself.
On its turn, a grappled creature must make a DC 25 Fortitude saving throw or be choked by the chains, and rendered unable to speak or use verbal spell components. At the start of any subsequent turns, if a creature is choked, they must make an additional DC 25 Fortitude saving throw or fall unconscious at 0 hit points. An unconscious creature grappled by the chain must make a DC 25 Fortitude saving throw at the start of its turn or fall to -1 hit points and be dying. A dying creature grappled by the chain must make a DC 25 Fortitude saving throw at the start of its turn or die.
Furthermore, if the chain successfully pulls a creature off of a surface and suspends it in the air, it draws them up to the top of the shaft (at a rate of 20 feet per round) and drops any creatures at 0 or fewer hit points down the shaft (which inflicts 5d6 points of fall damage).
This haunt is unusual, and can be damaged by physical means as well as positive energy. The chain has an AC of 20, hardness 10, and 54 hit points. Its CMD is 32 for the purposes of escaping from a grapple. Destroying the haunt causes any creature suspended by the chain to drop.
B8 Front Porch (CR 10)
LN spiteful haunt (northern 15 feet of area B8)
Caster Level 11th
Notice Perception DC 25 (to notice the distant humanoid shape turn to face the party)
hp 20; Trigger proximity; Reset 1 day
Effect A dwarven man (recognizable as the same one from the haunt in area B5) staggers out of the snow. His eyes are wild with fear, his clothes in tatters, and blood drips from several cuts on his exposed flesh. When he sees the PCs, he cries out, “Run! Run for your lives!” With that, the dwarf flees into the snow. All PCs in the area must make a successful DC 22 Will save to avoid being overcome with the conviction that the other members of the party are hungry monsters and are about to attack them—those who fail this save are affected with an effect similar to song of discord, with a 50% chance to attack their allies, and a 50% chance to simply flee at full speed from their allies each turn. Characters who race blindly into the snow have a flat 50% chance each round of running off the edge of the cliff, in which case they fall 60 feet to the ground below.
B10 Coat Room
Treasure changed to:
- 4 PCs: +2 monstrous humanoid-bane earth breaker
- 5 PCs: +2 monstrous humanoid-bane earth breaker and cloak of the yeti
- 6 PCs: +1 monstrous humanoid-bane earth breaker, cloak of the yeti, and comfort’s cloak
B12 Storage Closet
Treasure added: Banner of restful nights
B13 Strong Room
Treasure changed to:
- 1 bag of gold dust, each worth 1,000gp, per PC
- 2 bags of gold nuggets, each worth (600x# of PCs)
- 3 uncut gems, each worth 50gp, per PC
Suggestion: If your PCs need a particular type of gem or rock for spell components, make some or all of the above gems that type of gem.
B14 Living Area (CR 10)
CE haunt (all of area B14)
Caster Level 10th
Notice Wisdom check DC 18 (to notice sudden twinges of
unnatural hunger)
hp 20; Trigger proximity; Reset 1 day
Effect When the hunger pangs strike, all characters in the room must make DC 20 Fortitude saves to resist taking 10d6 points of nonlethal starvation damage from the sudden phantom hunger. Accompanying this ravenous sensation is the conviction that only the flesh of the other PCs can sate the hunger. Any character who took starvation damage must then make a DC 26 Will save to resist taking 1d8 points of Wisdom drain and exposing themself to wendigo psychosis as the cannibal urgings overwhelm the PC and drive them to the brink of madness.
B15 Larder (CR 15)
CE haunt (all of area B15)
Caster level 15th
Notice Perception DC 25 (to hear the rising whispers and slobbering grunts of the hungry dead)
hp 30; Trigger touch; Reset 1 minute
Effect To observers, the haunted character suddenly begins thrashing wildly, as if dozens of invisible hands were tugging and pushing him about the room. At the same time, bloody wounds from invisible teeth appear across the victim’s body. The haunted character perceives that he has suddenly been surrounded by a dozen emaciated but fantastically strong dwarves, all of whom are attempting to eat him alive. The ghosts make 10 attack rolls against the PC at a +20 bonus; each hit deals 2d6+7 points of damage and threatens a critical hit on a roll of 19–20. A character reduced to –10 hit points by these bites is torn apart so that nothing remains but a red, well-gnawed skeleton draped in his gear.
Event 1: Cannibal Fury (CR 17)
CE belligerent haunt (Vekker Cabin and environs to a radius of 30 feet from cabin’s outer walls)
Caster Level 17th
Notice Perception DC 25 (to hear the sound of knocking
somewhere in the cabin)
hp 102; Trigger timed; Reset 1 week
Effect This persistent haunt adheres to the following round-by-round schedule. Note that until the haunt begins to act in force on the fifth round, it cannot be dismissed or damaged. These first four rounds are, in effect, an extended warning of what’s about to occur.
Rounds 1-3: Allow the PCs to each make a DC 25 Perception check. Anyone who succeeds hears a faint knocking coming from the lower portion of the cabin, probably the outer door at area B3, as if some lost traveler were seeking shelter from the storm. PCs in the lower rooms of the cabin or the stair shaft need only succeed at a DC 10 Perception check to hear this knocking. The knocking continues for 3 rounds, during which time PCs might head down to see whom it might be. Attempts to see the ground outside the cabin are fruitless due to the whirling snow flurries, unless the PCs are within 5 feet, and then they still see nothing present that could have caused the knocking.
(Here’s a link to some audio you could use for this section).
Round 4: The strange knocking grows silent for 1 round.
Round 5: A loud crack followed by a mighty hammering sound suddenly fills the cabin as its walls begin to shake and groan, almost as if the structure were giving up its purchase on the cliff edge and sliding off. On each turn that a PC remains in the haunt’s area, they must make a DC 15 Acrobatics check; failure indicates they cannot move for that round, while failure by 5 or more indicates they fall prone. A character in area B6 at this time falls off the stairs if they fall prone.
Round 6: The hammering continues, but now the faint images of starving dwarven ghosts can be glimpsed out of the corner of the eye. Each character suddenly experiences painful hunger pangs and must succeed at a DC 20 Fortitude save to resist taking 4d6 points of nonlethal damage and 1d4 points of Constitution damage from the horrific hunger. Each character who fails this save must also make a DC 26 Will save or develop wendigo psychosis.
Round 7: Voices can now be heard, in most cases wordless cries of pain, but now and then snatches of sentences like “eating us…” or “don’t let him…” or “so hungry….” The hammering continues, but now the starving ghosts seem to notice the PCs for the first time. Each PC must make a DC 18 Will save— failure indicates that the haunt possesses them as the ghosts themselves seem to flow into the PC’s body. Possession inflicts 1d6 points of Wisdom drain, and has additional implications in rounds 8–10.
Round 8–10: For the last 3 rounds of this complex haunt, the shaking and hammering continues. Characters possessed by the haunt do not need to make Acrobatics checks to move and take whatever actions they can to render non-possessed characters unconscious or helpless, using whatever tools they have at their disposal. If a possessed character is adjacent to a helpless, non-possessed character and is not threatened by any other non-possessed character, they attempt a coup de grace action against the helpless character with the best weapon option they have. If a possessed character is adjacent to a dead character, they feed on the body and take no other actions unless they are attacked by someone else.
Round 11: With a sudden lurch, the haunting stops. Possessed characters immediately regain control of their faculties. Any character who successfully fed on an ally must make a DC 20 Will save upon realizing what they’ve done—failure results in an additional 2d4 points of Wisdom drain from the supernaturally fueled revelation. At your option, characters subjected to extreme Wisdom drain from this haunt could develop various insanities (see page 250 of the GameMastery Guide). The cabin itself shows no signs of damage from the violence aside from anything the PCs themselves have done to it.
Event 3: The Hungry Ghost (CR 16)
- 4 PCs: Karivek Vekker and 1 Advanced Frost Worm
- 5 PCs: Karivek Vekker, 1 Advanced Frost Worm, 1 Frost Worm
- 6 PCs: Karivek Vekker, 1 Advanced Frost Worm, 2 Frost Worms
Suggestion 2: If your PCs don’t have access to cold resistance at all, don’t add a Frost Worm for 5 PCs, and add 1 additional Advanced Frost Worm for 6.
Treasure changes to:
- 4 PCs: +4 improved cold resistance leather armor
- 5 PCs: +4 improved cold resistance leather armor and comfort’s cloak
- 6 PCs: +4 greater cold resistance leather armor
Event 4: The Wendigo Siege (CR 18)
- 4 PCs: The Ravenstag version 1 (non-mythic unique Wendigo)
- 5 PCs: The Ravenstag version 2 (Unique MR1 Wendigo)
- 6 PCs: The Ravenstag version 3 (Unique Agile Wendigo)
Just throwing this out there, for anyone else with truly redonculous parties (like mine). Legendary Games has made a set of 6 books that provides Mythic stats for a handful of the more interesting monsters for each of adventures.
For instance, There's a CR21/MR8 Wendigo that I'll be throwing at my party, and probably the Rune Giant, but I'll be skipping the Denizens, they're supposed to be speed bumps at the expected level, and not adjusting them seems like a reasonable amount of work....

C Queen of the Icemists (CR 17)
- No changes except to Svevenka
D Giant Sentinels (CR 17)
- 4 PCs: Bjormundal and 2 Storm Giants
- 5 PCs: Bjormundal and 3 Storm Giants
- 6 PCs: Bjormundal and 4 Storm Giants
Treasure changed to:

- Chest of copper bars worth 500gp
- Fine bear cloak work 2,000gp

So I've been using the google drive folder full of guys and it's been great; they're just about to enter the Pinnacle of Avarice. I've been prepping, though, and I notice that you mention Dragonslayer Giants in part 7, and I have no idea what those are.
Apologies Miles! My party is having their final session tomorrow, and I've held off updating until we finished. If I don't get around to it in time, here's what a Dragonslayer Giant is:
- Storm Giant (slightly modified stats)- Fighter Simple Template (+4 to Dex, not Str)
- +4 O-Yoroi
- Fighter Training 4 (Bows)
- +4 Enhancement Bonuses to Dex and Cha
- MWK Halberd and MWK Composite Longbow (+15 Str) enchanted via Aroden's magic army to +4.
I'll have stat blocks for Parts 4, 5, 6, and 7 over the next week or so.
In my sample run of Part 7, the Dragonslayer Giants were subverted relatively easily, but they distracted the party long enough to get the Rune Giant and Runewell Dragon in position with their spells used. Their to-hit makes them pretty bad at taking down Karzoug or the rune giant if freed, but great for pinging the dragon - thus how I came up with their backstories as two dragonslaying brother-heroes.
A quick recap of other characters I've made but not uploaded yet:
- CR 20 Ceoptra (Mythic Lamia Harridan Oracle 15) with mythic picks not made basically at random.
- CR 17 Isis, Ceoptra's Assistant (variant Jotunblooded Cloud Giant Bard [simple template])
- CR 19 Grand Polemarch Graithog (Rune Warden with better gear and stats)
- CR 17 Thing from Beyond Time
|
|
Apologies to do these out of order, but I've had a lot more experience with these stat blocks now and I feel confident with them, so here is:
Part 6: The Pinnacle of Avarice
X1 Entrance Ramp (CR 18)
- 4 PCs: 1 Warden of Song, 1 Warden of Wind, 2 Wardens of Thunder
- 5 PCs: 1 Warden of Song, 1 Warden of Wind, 3 Wardens of Thunder
- 6 PCs: 1 Warden of Song, 2 Wardens of Wind, 3 Wardens of Thunder
X2 Visions of Karzoug (CR 17)
- 4 PCs: Karzoug’s Image and 1 Warden of Thunder
- 5 PCs:
- 6 PCs: Karzoug’s Image and 2 Wardens of Thunder
Note: The Warden(s) stand as guards of the Throne Room, but they’ll come to Karzoug’s aid against the PCs after warning Viorian of their presence.
X3 Throne Room (CR 20)
- 4 PCs: Viorian Dekanti, 1 Warden of Song, 2 Wardens of Thunder
- 5 PCs: Viorian Dekanti, 2 Wardens of Song, 3 Wardens of Thunder
- 6 PCs: Viorian Dekanti, 1 Warden of Runes, 1 Warden of Song, 2 Wardens of Thunder
X4 Rune Giant Lair (CR 18)
4 PCs: Karzoug’s Image and 1 Warden of Runes
5 PCs: Karzoug’s Image, 1 Warden of Runes, and 1 Warden of Song
6 PCs: Karzoug’s Image, 1 Warden of Runes, 1 Warden of Song, 1 Warden of Thunder
Note: I moved Karzoug’s image into this room so it didn’t instantly get destroyed, but this fight is scaled on the assumption you did not do that. Move it where you wish.
X5 Lamia-kin Quarters
While this room is typically empty, if the party either failed to kill, or never encountered Yolanda (Lamia Matriarch Ninja 8), she may be found here. She seeks the aid of the lamia priestesses in X6 if attacked. I also recommend moving the Image of Karzoug into this room.
X6 Priestess Cells (CR 17)
- 1 Priestess of Divine Consumption per PC, but with Sihedron rings
X7 Hungerers’ Den (CR 17 to 19)
- 4 PCs: 2 Hungerers +1 per Lamia Matriarch that has tried and failed to defeat the PCs in Xin-Shalast, but survived.

Regarding Sihedron rings: Because Sihedron rings have virtually no function but protecting you from the occlusion field in a ABP game, I modified their effect description to the text below:
A Sihedron ring protects the wearer with a constant life bubble effect. At will, as a standard action, the wearer can use the Sihedron ring to change the appearance of their clothing or armor into any other kind of clothing or armor. The actual clothing and armor worn retain all their properties (including weight) when glamered. Only true seeing or similar magic reveals the true nature of the adornments.
Regarding CR: Some of these encounters have approximate CRs instead of exact ones, and they round down whenever this happens. This is because these encounters tend to be larger and more dynamic than a typical dungeon encounter, and the party will typically not be dealing with every creature in an area at once. Furthermore, because different parties will have wildly different levels of mobility and stealth at these levels, the CR system is less reliable for actually indicating how difficult a given combat might be. I recommend making use of the monsters provided to generate encounters that feel appropriately challenging for your party's specific makeup and tactics, only using these as guidelines for scaling up the encounters.
E Krak Naratha (CR 18)
- 4 PCs: Yerra and 9 Krak Naratha Soldiers
- 5 PCs: Yerra and 12 Krak Naratha Soldiers
- 6 PCs: Yerra and 15 Krak Naratha Soldiers
H Abominable Dome (CR 18)
-4 PCs: 4 Abominable Snowmen and 2 Ice Yai
- 5 PCs: 6 Abominable Snowmen and 2 Ice Yai
- 6 PCs: 6 Abominable Snowmen and 3 Ice Yai
Note 1: Variant Ice Yai have been added to the dome as part of a longer scheme to increase the power and loyalty of the Abominable Snowmen. These yai possess the bodies of the yeti through an occult ritual that Khalib, as Voorgoor, has been using as ‘punishment’ for those who step out of line. If the inclusion of these ice yai is not to your liking, simply replace them with 2 Abominable Snowmen each.
Note 2: In a larger party, there will be even fewer sihedron rings to go around. If this is the case, knowledgeable NPCs elsewhere in the city may indicate that Voorgoor is a ‘co-ruler’ of Xin-Shalast who visits weekly. If Khalib is defeated here as Voorgoor, that can net your PCs an extra sihedron ring and ease the burden of reaching the Pinnacle of Avarice.
I Lair of the Hidden Beast (CR 18)
- The Hidden Beast and 1 Vampire Skulk per PC
Change to treasure:

Note: These combats were curated by Tinalles on this thread. I recommend checking it out if you want to run the Tangle!
K Heptaric Locus (CR 17+)
- 4 PCs: Gamigin and 2 Scarlet Walkers
- 5 PCs: Gamigin and 3 Scarlet Walkers
- 6 PCs: Gamigin and 4 Scarlet Walkers
Note: I personally replaced Gamigin’s stat block with a Mythic Ice Devil to better round-out his abilities without changing his CR. If you really want to beef up this encounter, I’d recommend running him as a mythic ice devil with the sorcerer template.
M Spolarium (CR 18)
- 4 PCs: Eerymis and 2 Fiery Corpse Orgies

- 6 PCs: Immortal Ichor and 3 Charmed Lamia Priestesses
Note: As the lamia priestesses die, if they are under the Immortal Ichor’s control, they rise again as Juju Zombies. Stat blocks for these versions of the priestesses are also available in the folder.
Q Ghlorofaex’s Lair (CR 18)
- No changes except to Ghlorofaex
No stat block: I ran Ghlorofaex as a typical Ancient Blue Dragon equipped with a sihedron ring and ring of major cold resistance. I customized his spell list as follows:
6th (4/day, DC 21) legend lore, mislead
5th (7/day, DC 20) caustic blood, fabricate, wall of force
4th (7/day, DC 19) arcane eye, charm monster, dimension door, stoneskin
3rd (7/day, DC 18) dispel magic, displacement, haste, slow
2nd (7/day, DC 17) acid arrow, invisibility, knock, make whole, resist energy
1st (7/day, DC 16) alarm, blood money, mage armor, magic missile, reduce person

Once your party has the means to climb Mhar Massif and face the challenges within the Pinnacle, they Level up to 17! This should let them know that they're ready to proceed.
Invaders from Leng (CR 19)
- 4 PCs: 3 Leng Spiders
- 5 PCs: 4 Leng Spiders
- 6 PCs: 5 Leng Spiders
Note: I decided to put a last-minute shop just outside of the Occlusion Field. If you party hasn't had the opportunity to spend any money since entering Xin-Shalast, this is really your last shot to give them a chance to get gear and consumables!
Here's my shop, run by a kindly old woman named Dear Grandma, if that would be of interest to anyone: Dear Grandma's Shop It only has potions and hats though.

X The Final Battle (CR 23)
- 4 PCs: Karzoug, 2 Dragonslayer Giants, 1 Warden of Runes, 1 Very Old Underworld Dragon (768,000xp)
- 5 PCs: Karzoug, 2 Dragonslayer Giants, 1 Warden of Runes, 1 Very Old Underworld Dragon, 2 Brass Sentinels (870,400xp)
- 6 PCs: Karzoug, 2 Dragonslayer Giants, 2 Wardens of Runes, 2 Very Old Underworld Dragon, 1 Brass Sentinels (972,800xp)
Artifact Edit: Change the soul lens’s HP to 50 per PC. It is laughably easy to destroy for a large group of PCs to destroy, especially if any of them have any object-damage abilities.
Placement: Karzoug always begins in this throne with the Very Old Underworld Dragon beside him. Dragonslayer Giants should be placed opposite of each other on the elevated platforms (Y2). Brass sentinels should always begin part-way up the staircases leading from the entry platform (Y1) to Karzoug’s throne (Y4). Wardens of Runes should always begin east of the Runewell (Y3) and west of Y4.
Note about CR: The CR scaling here is a bit wonky. My reasoning was that scaling up a fight's difficulty by 50% for 6 players would lead to a horrible clogging problem, with minions dominating the battlefield. I ultimately led to a structure of Karzoug (CR 21) + (A CR 20 Battle, scaled to party size) in order to determine the scaling rate. If you end up wanting to make adjustments, feel free to do so, but keep in mind that most creatures involved in this battle fight with AoE abilities, so Brass Sentinels are the safest option for mooks.
Additional information about modifying this encounter in the notes document itself.
Once your party has defeated Karzoug, They level up to 18 and complete the Adventure Path!
I'll personally be moving on to Return of the Runelords from here, so people who are interested in running that after Rise should look for the resources I post over on that forum. I'll be adjusting most humanoid NPCs for my own game and I'd be happy to share whatever I make.

Yeah, genuine synergy pushes a party way further. Despite my recommendations for a party of 4, my 4-PC party uses the 5 PC track here and NPCs tend to have even more items because of how much stuff like greater heroism, communal mindblank, and communal air walk tear the standard AP apart. The mindblank + greater invisibility and fog cloud + fogcutter lenses combos alone rendered most of the Pinnacle ineffective (Wind Wardens and echolocation were integral to having interesting encounters). I know there's so much more high-level parties can get up to, but I hope these stat blocks help challenge at least most parties going through the AP.

I've started my Rise game in January as GM. My party consists of a Warpriest of Gorum (Weapon of the Chosen into Vital Strike build), a Swashbuckler (Inspired Blade) 1/Investigator X, a Sacred Huntsmaster reach Inquisitor and a Witch. The roleplay so far was great, as is the investigation in book 2.
Combat however... The party has been surfing through every encounter without any real tension. An example: Nualia (rebuilt to Warpriest and 1 lvl higher than in the book) died in three crits. Lucky I know and my players were thoroughly excited, but a bit anticlimactic for me :-)
Book 2 was no different: the atmosphere in Hambleys field was great, but when ghouls drop with one hit from the Warpriest who has full plate and Protective luck running so is nigh unhittable, it takes away from the tension. I rebuilt the following encounters in Hambley based on this thread and, boy, while they still were able to get through it without too much difficulty, at least there was tension in combat, especially when the Warpriest was paralysed.
Long story short: thanks a lot, Joey (and Askar for later books), for all the work. I will be using this thread to keep my players on their toes.

Askar, did you create all the statblocks in hero-lab? If so, do you have the .por files for them?

|
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Askar, thanks for all the updates. Definitely will be using these stat blocks as I take my group through the last two books. One quick question, and maybe I'm just missing it, but I noticed a number of the stat blocks have "inherent bonuses" (especially some with +2 across the board). Could you explain where those bonuses come from? Thanks!

Could you explain where those bonuses come from? Thanks!
Because inherent bonuses are so rare, I sometimes used the 'inherent' column to note racial bonuses, template bonuses, or bonuses of a monster gaining a PC level. The only creatures with actual inherent bonuses are Viorian, Khalib, and Karzoug.
It was an expedient choice to make the math easier to double-check, but I really should have made a note about it. I'll add a notice to the 'Askar Avari's Rise of the Runelords Statblocks Note' document.
Askar, did you create all the statblocks in hero-lab? If so, do you have the .por files for them?
I did and do not unfortunately. I tried using Hero Labs to keep the same format as Joey but between the complexity and the need to purchase books I just bounced off it. My stat blocks are simply made in a fillable PDF as that's what I'm experienced with.
Additionally, Makin and Stump has contacted me about a few errors made in my stat blocks that I'll try to get around to, but in case I don't, here's something to note:
1. Khalib should not have the spells ironskin or freedom of movement. They're not wizard spells, I just made a mistake. You can make up for the AC drop by advancing him to 18th level on the ABP chart, as if he were a PC. He could potentially have freedom of movement cast on him via a summoned outsider.
2. Viorian doesn't have all of her skill ranks assigned. Simply max out her Kn: Local, Perception, and Sense Motive (total: +21, +26, +26).

This thread has been a real life saver since this is my first Pathfinder Campaign and with six players I would never been able to balance the fights properly. Joey and Askar have been real heroes. Many thanks for all the work!
I really like Joeys formatting for the first 4 books, and this my attempt to adjust Askars changes into Joeys format. I had to do some changes... and wanted to do some changes.. so this is my take on Askars updates. Hope Askar and Joey do not mind… see it as a homage. =)
I also repost the first encounters since the book 5 notes are a bit spread out in this thread. Sorry for the repat but it makes it easier for me when I start chapter 5 tomorrow!

J5 Jordimandus’s Throne (CR 17)
● 4 PCs - Jordimandus, 4 Advanced Entropic Oozes, and 1 Advanced Omox Demon
● 5 PCs - Jordimandus, 4 Advanced Entropic Oozes, and 2 Advanced Omox Demons
● 6 PCs - Jordimandus, 4 Advanced Entropic Oozes, and 3 Advanced Omox Demons
(added a silent metamagic rod to Jordimandus for all those pesky Silence spells)
Jordimandus casts unseen servant, mage armor, greater darkvision and moment of prescience every day. Once he knows his maze has been invaded he casts stoneskin, tongues, heightened awareness, resist energy (fire), fly, cat's grace, shield, and control water(to flood the room). He begins combat by further flooding the room (via flash flood) plus quickened pilfering hand to grab and drop an opponent's weapon, then using his summoning and crowd control spells to try and keep the party occupied. As soon as he has the numbers evened out, he casts deflection in anticipation of a protracted battle.
When casting Summon Monster VIII, Jordimandus summons a Hezrou demon on first cast, and an Omox demon with the second cast.

Looks great Gnutten! I figure my creature stat blocks (the ABP and PDF format) are the biggest impediment to my work being useful for different people, so I'm glad to see pieces incorporated.
One quick note for people looking these over though: the Jordimandus tactics I wrote won't work with Gnutten or the book's stat block! You can swap summon monster vi for flash flood and mnemonic enhancer for control water if you want to pull off the flood strat without using the rest of my stat block.

Love your work, Gnutten! Makes this all a lot more readable and like Askar Avari said, it'll help a lot more people like this.
