One other idea to consider is that what is allowed for the players is also allowed for the GM. Certainly the boss enemies should be built with gestalt rules. A druid/artificer with two more levels than the party is not going to go down easily, especially if he has been supplying his minions...

There are several good ideas above. The scenario that you give is still focused on the steamroller approach (kill everything but it's hard to get to where you can kill). Some things you might want to consider for the future include: The way is blocked by intelligent monsters that can easily...

You listed 7 characters. Do they choose 6 of them? Without seeing at least some basic stats on the characters and the monsters, it is hard to give any advice. That said, 15th level characters can do a lot. Especially if there are six of them, since extra actions are one of the games most...

Sacred Healing is a feat. It requires the ability to Turn Undead, which is itself a feat. In fact, the earliest you can you sacred healing as a Pathfinder Paladin is seventh level. At 4th, you gain Channel Energy. At 5th, you take Turn Undead as your feat. At 7th, you take Sacred Healing.

Pathfinder Paladins can (at 4th level) channel positive energy, which instantly heals 1d6/two levels (round up) and is the Pathfinder equivalent of Turn Undead. (D&D 3.x Turn Undead is available as a feat.) Channeling also includes a feat to avoid healing your enemies. Each sacred healing...

This is what I would do. The main thing that the cleric gets as she levels is full spell casting and better channeling. Channeling fits well with the paladin concept, but spell casting is only a decent fit. I don't think that I would give more than 3/4 casting advancement. She will fall...

I'm not seeing how converting the spell-like ability to a supernatural ability helps. It still does cold damage, so immune creatures take no damage. It is still not a spell, so you cannot apply the metamagic feat to it. It would be reasonable to ask the GM to allow a Piercing Cold Spell-like...

My understanding is that, absent any feats or abilities, if you have archer - ally - target (with the target and the ally adjacent) the archer effectively takes a -8 to hit: -4 for firing into melee and +4 to AC for soft cover. Precise shot eliminates the -4 to hit. Improved precise shot...

The version that I found on the web is not as bad as what the OP describes. The prerequisites are Rapid Shot and BAB +8, it does not work if you are threatened. It also does not establish flanking. So it is the third feat in a tree (unless you managed to avoid the Rapid Shot prereq by, for...

I wouldn't allow Ghost Sound to create a flanking bonus. Guidance (also a 0 level spell) only grants +1 on one roll, where as flanking grants +2 and possible several d6 (if the flanker is a rogue). Guidance does have versatility, in that you can use it for any roll within a minute, but I...

Charge and run explicitly state that you must move in a straight line. I don't see that tumble imposes that restriction, which makes it's rules look a lot like all of the other forms of movement, which do let you turn.

I don't see a problem with the first item. Basically, it helps prevent a character deaths, which are never fun. It will also become less useful as the party goes up in level. At higher levels, damage output increases and you tend to go straight from conscious to dead, completely bypassing the...

I looked at the pathfinder encounter generator as well. It generated a kobold fighter with 10 levels of fighter and 11 racial hit die. It also claimed that it was CR 13, which might be correct. When I looked at the details, it had also spent 52k of the available 16k funds on magic items...

When I tried it,i seemed to be limited to adding 5 class levels. Is that a limitation of the free version? Or was I just having problems using it on my phone?

Generally, the followers are off camera, or back at the home base, or someplace safe. If they insist on bringing the followers with, a fireball or two will clear the field back down to a manageable size. And also give them minuses to their leadership score (caused the death of followers), so...
