Just finished Vordakai's Tomb. Whew. I almost gave up the game and ragequit because it was so fucking hardcore. Vordakai himself was a pussy compared to those Soul Eaters, and there was a spectre in that godsforsaken place that drained my lvl 11 cleric to -4 levels below 0 (!) in 5 seconds flat! How is that even possible? But... I survived while three of my party died. Man, that was hardfought.
Um. Death Ward?

Oh, and a question: is my animal companion (wolf) suppose to be two levels below my Druid's lvl 11? He's only lvl 9.
Yes. Another russian fuck-up - animal companions don't really have 'levels', they have Hit Dice, and these Hit Dice begin to lag behind their Druid's level once the Druid gets more experienced.

See here for more details: http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/druid/animal-companions/

So at level 11, it's normal for your companion to be Level 9 (actually 9 Hit Dice)

If I recall correctly nothing helps against Soul Eater claws except not getting hit, same with certain swarms and their drain ability. Apparently that's in the RAW as well.

The Soul Eaters are slow enough you can easily kite them and kill them. The only catch is not metagaming and ending up with bad (or random) choices.

I feel like the Smilodon just needs to be removed or changed. It's only supposed to have 3 attacks per round, as far as I can see. I just don't get how Owlcat thought 5 APR is balanced for an animal companion.

For every type you actually know there will always be untyped Other that stacks with everything. Or not.

And new hotfix :^) For a moment I thought it's DLC announcement. Oh well back to AoD replay.
Fuck is Guarded Heart? Don't member such spell.
Guarded Hearth is a completely made-up ability that grants the Cleric's Wisdom modifier as a Sacred bonus (stacks with almost everything) to attack rolls and saving throws. It's a massive AOE that you can cast just before a boss fight to basically autowin it. You only get one per rest, but who cares, you only need it on boss fights.

Gotta love a Sword Saint. 1HKO...

Incidentally a scimitar/rapier would do half that base damage or 66 damage total (or 48 after Reduce Person). Base damage doesn't count?

Well, I gave up on that previously.
But I've always wanted to give the hybrid (Str/Dex) SS a go.

Not that it can compare to a tripping monster, but can deliver some fun strikes. Too bad usually the bosses aren't the real issue.
