Really inconsistent. Encounter at Blackwall Keep had a lot of encounters so easy they were boring, and then the Spire of Long Shadows was stupid-crazy hard. It was overpowered encounter, rest, repeat. 5 minute day never, ever was so bad as that adventure. Oh, and if you didn't have death ward and mass resist energy, you were probably in a lot of trouble.However, AoW had some really nice adventures as well - The Prince of Redhand may well be the best adventure Paizo ever released.The less said about what rogue can do in Dawn of a New Age the better. Pretty much every creature was either (a) undead, (b) had concealment, or (c) was just straight-out immune to sneak attack.We generally had fun with AoW, however, and I believe that Paizo are able to learn from their mistakes, so on to Savage Tide. The first two or three adventures were fine. However, then we started hitting more and more difficult encounters. The actual structure of getting information to the players about what was going on also was quite poor. There's a prisoner in one of the adventures that must be rescued if the PCs are to continue to the next adventure. I missed his importance when I was running the adventure and because the encounter makes him somewhat hard to find, the PCs walked right on by. Oops. Kludge, kludge to get onto the next adventure!With City of Broken Idols we really started hitting demons, and it's at this point that 3e takes leave of its senses. Blasphemy is one of the stupidest spells ever designed, completely broken at any level. Demons with multiple uses of Blasphemy? Oh, gods...Cheers!</blockquote>
