I'll tell you, the rules differences are a lot larger than one would think. And I'm guessing that a 1st level character from 3.x/Pathfinder, with feats and such, is probably the equivalent of a 3rd level AD&D PC.

It was only because he was already built and was out there floating in the limbo of not being in a game.

Hero Points
As a reminder each of you received one hero point for your characters’ lives prior to the start of the game and a second hero point is now award to each for have them posted with an appropriate background in the RG.
Per my earlier post (thanks for the reminder mleibrock) I also want to give the players a say in the awarding of hero points. If you note one of you fellows engaging in a particularly selfless and heroic act you might choose to award them a hero point. We'll also have a 'most valuable player' vote at some logical point in the story as well as a 'most engaging roleplayer'. Feel free to suggest other worthy awards to give everyone a chance--maybe the D&D equivalent of Ms. Congeniality. Maybe even most amusing comments in the OOC thread related to the game. Whatever tickles your fancy. I'll give you points as you level up and perhaps at other times, but I'd like you all to take the lead on this. Obviously, giving out more than one extra point to each of your fellows per level would be frowned upon by your DM.
Now that all the characters are posted and introduced we can have our first vote. Review the other characters and PM or Email me your vote for the one you find most interesting, creative or well written. No particular criteria here, just whichever one you like. A couple of caveats--no campaigning or attempting to buy votes
, keep your vote secret, vote only once and most importantly, you can't vote for yourself. Should there be a tie, I will cast the deciding vote. Sound like fun? I figure it will give you all a chance to know each other’s' characters and maybe spot some mechanical errors I've missed.
Our candidates in the order they were posted to the RG are:
Besharrn Blacktusk (Human name 'Jonathan Agrivar'), Ranger3, Half-Orc played by Leif
Vadim Nazdravan, Half-Elf Archeologist (Bard) 3 played by Mowgli
B'rri Half-elf Magus 3 played by Lou
Falco Halfling Oracle 3 played by mliebrock
Brendan Alaric Ifrit Sorcerer 3 played by J. Alexander
Dannis Veraggo Human Cleric of Sarenrae

It will take me a bit to work through all the PCs. I'll update my list here with any issues that I see as I work my way though.
- Besharrn Blacktusk: Only mistake I see is a +3 STR bonus to attack with Halberd (It should be +2; the 1.5 times STR bonus applies to damage only, not attack rolls).
- Vadim Nazdravan: I don't see any issues with Vadim.
- B'rri: Looks good to me, but I'm not familiar at all with the Magnus class.
- Falco: Looks okay at a glance. Hero Lab doesn't show any of the math behind the numbers on the character sheet, so I'm just gonna assume it is correct. Der Kommisar!
- Brendan Alaric: Looks okay at a glance. Hero Lab doesn't show any of the math behind the numbers on the character sheet, so I'm just gonna assume it is correct

Trust points are a mechanic of this adventure path, not of Pathfinder in general. If they do what the name suggests - and it looks like they do, given what we've earned them for - it's meant to be a measure of how well we've ingratiated ourselves with the locals.
If you're also using HeroLab to take notes on the adventure and track such things, the best place for this is the Journal tab. That's where you'll record XP earned and money gained and lost as well. If you click on the button with the pencil it opens a box for free-form writing. You can create as many journal entries as you wish, and put a unique title on each one. HL records the RL date on which you created the entry. Edit them as often as you wish to record ongoing events and gains/losses. (You can go back and edit old entries as well).
So for example, you could make a journal entry solely for the purpose of tracking trust points. All of it would be recorded in the free form box, since there's not a mechanic in HL for this. Put a total at the top, and every time we gain or lose one just add a line of text in the box detailing how we did it.
Another one could track major events for this installment of the AP so you've got all of your "clues" in one place. Another one cout be for XP and GP for this installment. Or you could do these by the month, year or any other old way that strikes your fancy.
Just be aware that if you delete an entry, any information related to game mechanics (XP and money) detailed in that entry will be deducted from your character.

Was there an XP award for the bugbears? Not necessary at all, as we're already starting with a couple of levels under our belts and the AP assumes first level to start. Just wondering . . .
