Help meet out, I want to write up an Ogre for Pathfinder. I figure I can use it pretty much straight out of 3.5 MM. But it shouldn't be too hard to update it for Pathfinder, I'm just not sure what changes to make. Thanks.

I'm building an encounter. Imagine a path that travels through some rocky hills. The group is coming around a hill side from one direction while two goblins riding dogs are coming the other direction. I was planning on first checking the perception as taking a 10 for the characters. Consider...

Reading the Clerical ability Channel Energy. It says Channeling energy causes a burst hat affects all creatures of one type (either undead or living) in a 30-foot radius centered on the cleric. From the description this sounds like it would heal your foes alike! Which would make the ability...

From the discussion in the Beta rules, it sounded like the authors liked the idea of starting with more hits. I'm wondering why this was taken out. There seems to be no mention in the Core Rules, it's not even offered as an optional rule.

The Beta rules had several options that gave starting characters more hit points. Looks like these didn't make into the Core Rule book. I thought giving 1st level characters more hit points was a good idea. It doesn't seem like it would unbalance a higher level game.

I'm working on a high level encounter with a demon. I want to have the demon appear in human form. This is easily done with a hand wave. But, I would like to cover it with the D&D 3.5 rules. So far I'm figuring to use Polymorph to change to a human form followed by a misdirection. How might...

I converted the Forge of Fury to 4e. The adventure begins with the players searching for the entrance to an old Dwarven stronghold. There are several outcomes and the players can use a variety of skills to find the entrance. I thought this could be a good handled as a skill challenge. Here...

I just started using PCGen. Looks like a great application. But I'm having trouble figuring out a few things. For example, I want to create a new character, how do you move stats around? for example I want swap Int and Str. Can anyone point me to a tutorial for PCGen somewhere on the web?

I want to start a campaign using the Pathfinder rules. Can use 3.0/3.5 Monsters from the book, or do I need modify them?

I need to set up an encounter with some troglodytes. The trogs given in the MM are a bit too tough for the level of the party at this point. The weakest trog, the Mauler, is level 6 soldier. The Party should be 4th level at this point. So I need a 2nd to 4th level encounter. Two maulers makes...

Thanks for the reply. Great questions and exactly why I'm posting this. I'm not sure what the values should be. The DMG doesn't really present guidelines for making your own traps. What do you think are reasonable values for damge, perception etc. I should probably include save ends the...

I want to create a level 2 or 3 trap that flames everyone in an area. The trap is triggered by opening a door. This is what I was thinking. Open this door douses characters in the area with alchemist fire. Trap: Burst 2. Perception: DC 20 notice the trigger mechanism Trigger: Opening door...

Thanks for the reply. The problem I had was with the Orc Raider's ranged attack was that it was a hand axe. I saw a problem with throwing these through the arrow slits. I guess you could take this attack and just call it shortbow. The Young Black Dragon does look pretty tough. It's listed as...

I want to convert Forge of Fury to 4e. I'll looking for some suggestions. Looking through the MM there are a good selection of monsters at various levels. But a few things are missing. The first encounter, if you are familiar with FoF, has some Orcs at the gate and some other Orcs with Bows...

I went with Mitswell's suggestion. I swapped Toughness for Improved init. I figure, with Thunderwave and Fey Step I can stay out of trouble. Improved init was always a great feat in 3.5. Being able to go earlier and lob a sleep at the enemy before they get an action could be some good.

I was thinking in terms of initial damage.

How do figure damage as 1d6 + int + wis? What am I missing, it looks like it should be 1d6 + int to me.

That's a great analogy.

I have yet to play 4e. I'm working on a few characters. Here's what I came up with for an Eladrin Wiz. Give me some suggestions: EL Eladrin wizard Str 11 Con 14 Dex 12 +2 Int 14 +2 Wis 14 Chr 12 Size medium Speed 6 Low light vision Common, Elven HP: 24/12 Surge: 6 * 8 per day Defense: AC...
