Pathfinder Adventure Path: Reign of Winter Part 3 - Maiden, Mother, Crone

...and has no bloody clue about maths, statistics or basic probabilities. Otherwise the module might be interesting, fun to play and suspenseful, with all it's good writing, colorful background and reference to russian fairy tales and folklore.Being as it is, however, unless you have a DM who corrects the abysmal balance and silly, pointless autokill enemies, expect your party to die a lot of senseless, random deaths for no other reason than being there.Elaborating from our first two gaming session in this:You will be interrogating the spectre of a former queen of Irrisen for some non-optional, required information. Asking the RIGHT questions (not wrong ones, mind you!) will, however, make her mad and turn her hostile. Once hostile, she attacks 3 times in a round, with a *touch* attack (hits on a 3), does 20-30 points of negative energy damage with each hit, and thus autokills the party barbarian (the one with the most hitopoints), before anyone can do *anything* about it.A short time later, you'll be leaving Baba Yaga's Tardis, I mean, hut, and be surrounded by 7 Frost Giants (with a level 7 party, around 50 hp or below, mind you). They attack twice in a round and on a roll of 20, again, automatically kill most characters with their average 70.5 points of critical damage (29 str and a crit multiplier od x3 on their greataxes). Naturally, a 20 or three WILL be rolled during the battle...Really, I had thought roleplaying in the 21st century had overcome this [...]I like being challenged, but basically being randomly TOLD "and, by the way, you're dead" is just not fun to play.

A good exploration of Baba Yaga's dungeons for the three eras of the mythical woman.
