[QUOTE="Hejdun, post: 5162258, member: 839"] KotS is quite a grind. As in, a mind boggling abount of combat. I would consider trimming some of the encounters. Another thing to keep in mind is that most of the enemies are melee-only, and there are chokepoints aplenty, which leads to boring, static fights. From just reading through the first half of the Scales of War adventure path, I would seriously advise against running it as a rookie DM. With rare exceptions, the "adventure path" consists of barely connected adventures consisting of barely connected encounters. The highlight of the adventure path is the wonderful epic battles that spring up. WotC has a good eye for making interesting combats. Unfortunately, it will take dozens of hours of deciphering what exactly the plot is, and much more to communicate it to the PCs in a coherent way. You WILL have to provide 50%+ of the content for Scales of War. I've heard very good things about War of the Burning Sky (hosted here!), but I haven't had the opportunity to look through it better.
