Like Keterys the one death in my campaign (7 sessions, 4 levels) was to a pair of creatures with confusion abilities. The battle was 4pcs vs 9 levels, a bit harder than 1:2 but it was the party thief who crit, against a character, used a power to reroll, then still confused, crit again the...

We use tiny hair rubber bands (our group has a lot of daughters) red = staggered, yellow = dazed, purple = other. Really that covers the vast majority of conditions, that see regular use. in 4e the PCs seemed to cause the vast number of effects, and my party just doesn't create them.

I built a tesseract dungeon which was based on a 60x60x60 unfolded cube. It had 6 rooms and the gravity changed on entering each room, the doors were found in the middle of the walls or placed circling one wall as if it was a floor, although gravity rarely was based on the same "Floor". just...

I ran this as a solo modal, focusing on the tower of war. The party of adventures I was controlling made it all the way to the bottom. The other towers were more focused on figuring out puzzles, and less suitable for running both sides. I have used various parts of this modal for...

I think you really need to stick to the best known of the elements. boron? sodium? not a chance im using these, not medieval enough. Mercury: an illusionist, or shape shifter Tin: the weakest of the metallic dragons. This would be an ally or comic relief. a jokester like brass. I would use...

Confirmation is also good. it is the most recent intro module to pathfinder society. The pathfinder society sends some new recruits on an adventure to confirm their status as pathfinder agents. I ran it last weekend at a con and everyone had a blast.

There are pre-gen characters available. If you not at a con, you might contact your GM or look over the choices yourself. Also they very in quality, spell casters especially. You can look them over at the table and change out a few feats or spells before the game starts.

I used a forgotten library to allow a bard to changed out his spelljacked spell - for a new spell (the talent does not upgrade automatically, I think) Other (arcane) talents could be retrained with the same excuse. How about some controllery spells? Summon Swarm, Wall of Fire/Ice Telekinesis

I added a stunt system based on the "Risky moves advice" the basics are that PCs can make a skill roll as a free action, for some minor effect. DC is either medium (15) or vs the targets PD/MD. if they fail they get an OA. if they succeed they can grab, push, aid another, overbear, daze...

I use them mainly for one session advantages, leaving a few as floating bonuses that players can use for story reasons. Tally: Permanent Items: 2 (+1 promised) 1 use spells / techniques/ items : 5 Skill bonuses(auto success-usually) 2 Floating bonuses left for player improv: used 3 / unused...

MarkB : that clip nails it. :) We managed something fantastic, on a little bitty scale. As for hardness, the moon was about a 10. Oh we were justified, it was definitely trying to kill us. Or at least someone was using it to try and kill us. Summoning 1d6 moon-linked critters to attack...

I tend to gravitate campaigns to small cities of about 10k. Its small enough that the PCs can interact with the rulers, although there is usually some level of bureaucracy/inconvenience. There is a reasonable expectation of becoming well known in the city by 6th level, and major movers and...

muhahhahahaha!!!!!! Okay so it was a clockwork moon in a demi-plane. Only 500' up and not that big.... It was part of a published module, had hp listed, and it was annoying us so.... My archer's arrows hit it & penetrated hardness. So I'm sure the damage I did personally tipped it over the...

Yoink! And a plot hook for a low level witch that was taken over by Naga crystals and thinks she is one. in fact I like that idea better than a de-leveled Naga, for a low level party. Plus it explains the lack of constructs and other Naga trappings that I don't want to use.

a strength bonus? is not what I was expecting. If there is ever a case for making a non-strength based fighter its drow. Other than that they look fine I guess. I like the 4e versions with quick action faefire spells - otherwise its a waste of a turn. How bout a ranged weapon as backup? 10...

Well my group and I are excited about it. To us it feels alot like a gridless 4e. I hadn't realized how tired I was of carefully counting out cones, movement and blast zones in pathfinder. Distances are engaged, nearby and far away. Most area effect spells hit 1d3 people. The most exciting...

playing pathfinder (rise of runelords) since late march. I was working on a return to a previous 4e game (13th level) but I ran a 13th age trial and we are excited about that now. So I am slowly forming up a 13th age game world figuring out what of the setting I want to keep or pitch.

well i am working slowly on a design for a 13th Age campaign. I am trying to do a bottom up design, stating with a single city and expanding outward, hopefully with lots of input from the players. I am stealing some bits from the 13th age setting, like the description of the capital city...

Next goal: World eating Kanju. is it a terrasque? is it a 13th Age Kopru? or just a modern/supers Godzilla? its bigger than your head and weighs 4 pounds.

3 days left! I love these bones kickstarters, the core 155 figures for 100$ is just sweet. My add Ons: 1-2 dragons likely cinder and blightfang Rat men extra lesser demons the huge Old one Worm thing. its a brilliant sculpt gelatinous cube - transparent, and can fit another figure...
