Most likely yes to both (challenges scale with party level and dictate how much XP it's worth). Basically how "difficult" it is, or how many success vs failures is involved in the challenge. There's probably a chart in the book. There'll most likely be mechanics for it, something along the...

No problem. =) Also suffering from the same dilemmas. =) But better good problems (choices, choices) than bad problems (lack of choice).

The latest Pathfinder is up. (Basically you have to redownload the whole thing again.) New classes include the Paladin (d8 hp now) and the Sorcerer (d6 hp).

Yes, that's true. Especially the consequences of their decision part. But as for the decision making process itself, they're not obligated to share it with the rest of us. At least not NOW, several weeks before the license is publicly released. You can scream, complain, praise WotC when the...

First off, to those who want to know about the GSL now--honestly, WotC is not bound to share its information publicly. If you want to give them feedback (and they are reading the boards), there's the respective threads here at ENWorld. The public, or even the publishers themselves, are entitled...

Those with the conspiracy theories. Unfortunately, not everyone is as understanding.

True but I think there are other optimal template choices if the creature isn't either an Artillery or a Controller. Like a Brute-type template I would presume would give more hp per level and perhaps a tougher defense. Sure, there are some abilities from the Lich that are lucrative but I expect...

Yes. There are even keywords like Mastermind and the like.

I know it can get confusing but you have to understand the entire paragraph rather than just those single sentences. Basically, they're saying in " For example, those ogre savages in plate armor and wielding +3 greatswords have AC, attack rolls, and damage rolls three points higher than...

You can always add in the Polymorph ability to turn into bats/wolves. Personally, I don't like vampires turning into wolves because it's encroaching into the lycanthrope's territory. (As for the bat, honestly, how threatening in combat will a bat be unless they're dire bats or part of a swarm?)...

Because the "resurrecting from the dead" (especially at the brink of death) can be quite cinematic/impressive. In mythology, we have the phoenix motif. Or Isis reviving her dead husband. In literature, we have Gandalf. In movies, you can think of it as the main protagonist knocked out of his...

I suspect they will have a chart for the appropriate monster roles determining the appropriate AC, Defense, Attack, and HP. Special abilities however are another thing but you can probably crib some examples from the DMG/MM.

Depends on which side you are. For the "early adopters", it's a give and take. They get the material later than was originally intended but then again, they don't have to pay the $5,000 fee anymore. As for the rest, instead of waiting for January 2009 to publish material, they can release them...
