What can a Alaghor petitioner solo? Even if it means using 100% of their expendable resources? GENERALLY, and I agree with paulewaug that CR's dont always mean sqaut (but I am hopeful that 3.5E Helps to fix this somewhat), but generally if a CR is meant for an iconic party of 4 (Cleric, Wizard, Rogue, Fighter) and you have only 1 then I find that you tend to need to lower the CR by around 3-4. So in this particular case a CR matching the Petitioner should suffice. However, keep in mind that it requires DM common sense. Exaple: An 9th level Clr5/Ftr4 petitioner is not going to be able to face down a CR9 Demon alone.However, as a DM you can always say that the PC is a petitioner, but due to the mechanics of the how the clan works the Player is only one of many petitioners. The more petitioners the more of a Roleplaying aspect it will be, especially if some of the NPC petitioners die or are cast out. It will make it all that much more memorable to the Player, knowing that they actually participated in something grand and came out of it ahead.2) The Axe:It was a misread or I was not clear enough. The petitioner must sacrifice an Axe they have crafted themselves. It does not mean they cannot have many more axes, just that they have to sacrifice one of their own making.If you really want to make this more of a cost to the petitioner (asside from forcing them to take ranks in Craft (Weaponsmith)) then require it to be a Masterwork Axe of their own creation.Hope that helps clarify things.  Thanks for the compliments. I think the joint effort on this is turning out quite nicely. Keep up the work all. If there are any more questions please feel free to ask.</blockquote>
