Kingmaker Anniversary Edition for PF1


Kingmaker Second Edition


1 person marked this as a favorite.

I do not have any experience with PF2, but listened to a few videos on YT about changes. Have run half of the original AP before, and new group wants to play Kingmaker and I like the expanded story of the new book. I know the PF1 Bestiary gives stats for the encounters in it, but what about converting other aspects of the AP? Skill check DCs stands out as the main thing to me. Comparing the same hexploration encounters between the two books some DCs are higher and others lower. This is all a long way of asking my question...

If running the new Kingmaker in PF1, can I just use the DCs of skill checks and other non-combat things, or do I need to do more work to convert the AP to PF1?

If you have access to the original version then wherever possible use the original DCs, traps and treasure. You'll need to do some manual conversion work for some of the new sections though.

That is a big oof. Was hoping DCs would be usable at least. :(

They're different games. It's unreasonable to expect full backwards compatibility.


Second Edition is not at all backwards compatible with Pathfinder 1e. You'd have much better luck converting the 5e version of the adventure into Pathfinder 1e.

There isn't a "5e version." Both PF1 and 5e got the same converted Bestiary.
