I kinda flipped it on its head. The scene was a worker's revolt, trying to rescue fellow workers from one of the factory lock-ins that happened in an earlier adventure. The workers were opposed by a Pinkerton-like strikebreaker force, and it was this force that became the hivemind. Picture a...

My group's just starting the last two adventures now. Any tips on making the ending of the campaign land well? They pretty much got the "good" ending for Ber, Drakr and Crissilyir, so the world's doing about as well as could be expected. At the start of Adventure 12 it mentions that Rock...

I just removed death (and limb-loss and other dismemberment, incidentally, which 4e doesn't have rules for) from my campaign. Someone who "dies" is knocked out and captured, or left for dead, barely alive.

I wish I'd read this before I started running the AP. I'd love to see some stuff for Act 3.

I admit I never played Pathfinder, but doesn't stuff like Vorpal weapons and the Regenerate spell count? In 4e Vorpal just does a lot of damage on a critical, and there's no need for regeneration since no effects cut bits off, so it doesn't exist.

Huh, was Zeitgeist written for 4e then converted to Pathfinder? I had assumed it was the other way around due to the monsters and items that cut limbs off, which isn't something 4e has rules for.

Ahh, that explains it. Thanks for the heads up.

What's with the languages? My Zeitgeist books (4e) say Risuri speak Primordial, Drakrans speak Dwarven, Berans speak Giant and Goblin and so on, but the character builder files have a bunch of languages I've never seen like "Riord". Did something change somewhere in publication?

Thanks! The Logos paragon path prerequisite doesn't include the "or trained in Diplomacy and History" section one of my players is using - maybe I'll try learning the tools and updating it.

I'm also interested in this.

Yeah, for my party it feels about right. It varies from player to player, but they don't optimise that hard.

I've been running with only three party members. I've usually been dropping the equivalent of two standard monsters from each encounter (so a five-monster encounter becomes three monsters) and reducing all solo monsters to 60% of their normal hitpoints.

Fair enough. Good to know I've got all the latest rules.

Just resurrecting the thread to ask: Is the 4e errata for Zeitgeist available anywhere?

*Shrug* in my 4e game we had one A4 sheet with the conditions written on it. Pulled it out about once every three sessions, when unusual conditions came up, like "restrained". Play enough sessions and you'll know all the common conditions off by heart pretty quickly.
