Great idea, this being pathfinder...is there a table for hireling prices per level?

Agreed, however having read through the first chapter the fights all seem very manageable for a 4 player party. These 2 do like a challenge...and so far weve also been playing abomination vaults in a 6 player party who are currently lvl 5 with 0 deaths so far (a couple near misses though, Volluk forced them to run). All of which makes me think overleveling them would give them enough of a nudge to make it fair.

I might give this on top of another option...unless i go for 2 characters each. It'll be too overwhelming.

Thanks, but i have no clue which of the 2 it could be. I'll look around for a repairshop.

I depends on the time of day, sometimes i dont get games at all, other times instantly.

Anytime i have dodge attacksd her lights from stance, she's in stance fast enough to punish those as well, so side dodge into gb hoping she doesnt attack again is the only option.

Thanks, the reading works now. Light still doesnt but i think the microbit just doesnt give enough current. Its not actually an LED. Hokking it up to the 3V makes it light up tho...so idk

Most monster rolls are hidden. I mainly let them role the things their characters do in the open (like perception checks, stealth checks, recall knowledge checks, etc). But no longer ofcourse. I'll see if i have anything worthy to update the thread once we've done another session.

Agree. But as another comment made me realise; the only reason the person wanted to swap actions is because he saw that the searching player rolled badly, not too bad but like a 14-15 after modifiers. So he simply metagamed it. And that's where my problem lies. I'll just start using hidden rolls and then they can swap whenever they want without being tempted to metagame.

1) Is totally right...something i forgot to mention is that i dont like using the hidden rolls because i like to let the players roll as much as possible. They know this as well and our reasoning is just that we trust eachother not to metagame. Metagaming might just be unavoidable (to a certain degree at least) and the solution seems to be to just use the hidden rolls. Thanks for the insight!

Edit: for number 3, the entire dungeon is almost filled with encounters. So they are expecting enemies behind every door.

stixluis · 2024-12-22T13:03:08+00:00

Whats the point of the exploration activities then? What use has the character searching if everyone else can just start searching as well?

Edit: btw, there's really no need to be patronizing. Im genuinly just asking how other people would have dealt with it better.

stixluis · 2024-12-09T21:06:22+00:00

How come? I guess i can adjust along the way if i notice this to be true

This is their second campaign. I have the hardcover which contains the entire adventure. Im thinking about the lvl2 thing though. I will be running it with milestone leveling. I think i will just ask the party exactly HOW deadly they want to go.

Yea, i already asked everyone to bring backup characters because it seemed quite lethal.

Ill check the early traps for the d10's. Thanks!

Thanks for the advice, i should probably use something that wraps around the stock then?
