It could also be a localized effect that's following them... after all, she said it would be their last, not everyone's. Not to mention that taking the sun away entirely seems well beyond Lamashtu's portfolio... you likely have a major gods war about start over this. If it were a localized...

I'm not sure I'd call 1hp/target level (plus healer's WIS mod if DC is exceeded by 5) instantly, plus 2hp/target level for 8 hours of rest a pittance, but I suppose that's a matter of opinion. As it is, a 1st level fighter could heal back from death's door in 3 days or so... and it scales with...

While magical healing will likely be necessary, especially at higher levels, I recommend that you familiarize yourself with the Heal skill... 1) If treated with the heal skill within 24 hours, each person so treated will get back 1hp per level. If you exceed DC by 5, you can add your WIS bonus...

It kind of already exists an a Bard Archetype... Archaeologist.

True enough, but on the flip side, core only and add as you go is fairly practical. It's easier to add than it is to nerf and take away after the fact.

Yes and no. Spell casters benefit pretty heavily from the metagame knowledge that they can use all of their tricks because they can just rest and get them back. That's true to some degree of most classes, but... I've learned over the last year that if I'm only going to run one or two fights...

You should play an Oracle named Cassandra and see how long it takes them to figure it out. :p

That and Black Company would not be terribly easy to port to Pathfinder. If I remember correctly (I'd have to go back and confirm) the magic system is VERY different. I remember being a bit disappointed that I couldn't really lift much from it for my game at the time.

You are correct, and I misspoke... I blame not having my morning coffee. What I meant to say is that the character will not be able to TAKE AoO's with their bow for several more levels, as they won't get reflexive shot until 9th, and their BAB is not high enough for Snap Shot. My bad.

Yup, we have the book, or access to the PRD. That doesn't negate that the player has seriously sacrificed ability to do damage in order to not be hit.

True. Of course, they also won't be able to flurry with bow and not provoke for several more levels...

I guess I'll just chalk this up to EL and CL just being imprecise then and adjust upwards accordingly but my personal experience with 1.5 years of Pathfinder and I'm not sure how many years of 3.x is that if they're accounted for in the math, their math isn't so good.

I was using that as an example, my actual party is 6 level 7's, two of which are AC druids. So a large lion, and a medium cheetah. Yeah, I just picked up Animal Archive, so I'll be enforcing tricks a bit more carefully but my experience has been that a full strength pet is worth more than...

So, from what I can see, Pathfinder is pretty much the same as D&D 3.x in regards to tacit assumptions regarding APL, and Encounter Levels. That assumption is that 4 PC's of X level vs. an encounter of the same level is roughly an average difficulty encounter. So, for instance, 4 level 5 PC's...

Jokingly, I'll point out that McClane is a bad example... he gets hit a lot, either he's got a lot of hit points or converts lethal to non-lethal. ;)

Or, I suppose, you could ditch most of the magic item bonuses entirely and use the Inherent Bonuses rules from 3.5 DMG2. http://tgd.wikidot.com/inherent-bonuses

There is something to be said for "Is this the right system for me," but this isn't a huge difference from 1st ed. AD&D even... AC 20 is roughly the equivalent of AC0, IIRC. I would also ask, is this Monk actually contributing much to the fights? They're good at not being hit, but their ability...

Sadly, I lost my original post. Thankfully, others have said a lot of what I was going to say as well... Your monk (AC 29)is giving up the ability to do damage in order to not be hit. If they've reduced their size they're getting 3 1d6+1+STR (if any) at, I'm guessing, around +11 or +12. Also...

So long as it's for Pathfinder, I can always use another book of monsters. I've gotten a lot of use out of my copy of Complete Tome of Horrors. A Pathfinder Creature Catalog collection would also be awesome.

That's incorrect. If he's borrowing another wizard's spell book, assuming he can make the spellcraft check, he can scribe spells that he is incapable of casting. It's not much different than the spellcraft check you have to make to cast from a scroll higher than your level in that respect. Now...
