Unless the monster has them then let the monster use them.2. When a PC attacks a monster use AC, unless it is an effect that needs a save, then use the proper defense minus 10 as the save bonus against the DC. Some fudging will be necessary. Do use reflex as the touch AC and so on.3. When a monster attacks a characters defense other than their AC, don't. Instead let the PC roll their saving throw defense against a DC of 10 plus the monsters attack bonus. Again some fudging will be necessary. Again sometimes things like the touch AC should be used as a 4e reflex defense.4. Make up skill challenges, but use them as only a scaffolding. Let smart players auto success with good rp and let others get in the action with their characters stats. Also don't make it a minigame, go about it like any other encounter you would rp. Consider imposing a kind of initiative order of some sort.I think it is doable. I think it's possible with monsters right out of the MM and MM2. I think the 4e monsters will be over powered, but I think the pathfinder rules are amped up a bit anyways, however I bet you'll still do a lot of adjusting on the fly. What I'd like to know are the adjustments for power disparity that folks have discovered.</blockquote>
