Opinions on Rappan Athuk - Pathfinder update

After looking through the 3.5 version, beginning to convert it then seeing the pathfinder version had already been released.  I was flipping through the pathfinder one and it looks like most of the dungeon got pretty heavily nerfed for this mac daddy mega dungeons PF incarnation, I mean hell orcus's avatar had his health cut in half, some of the old fun mobs like the CR29 demilich and illithids didn't make it due to not being OGL apparently.  For the most part it seems like it'll be better then converting the old 3.5 one all the way from 3.5 to pathfinder (via updating all the monsters), but i feel like it'll definitely need some major tweaking and whatnot, I also feel like 3.5's one had more expansive maps which was nice (not so much for tabletop, but perfect for roll20 where i can size them to scale and make it pretty awesome with the dynamic lighting to block off all the walls with and judicious use of hiding things on the gm layer :P Right now im getting ready to start a way of the wicked with some friends, but im readying up Rappan as a backup or for off days when not everyone can make it (since it'll probably kill them quickly anyway :P ).

Ive been running Way of the Wicked (in the second book right now). For the most part, I like it but there are a few maps you will have to come up with something on your own.  As for RA, that is unfortunate. I hope they didnt nerf it too much as I was planning on running Pathfinder RA for my F2F group in about a year.  - Gauss

Couldn't you just add some CR29 from Pathfinder?

Leif Egil R. said: Couldn't you just add some CR29 from Pathfinder? Indeed I could Leif, and infact the avatar of Orcus is a CR 35 even in pathfinder I believe.
