I recently purchased this adventure and am thinking about running it. Has anyone else run it? Have any tips? My players are new to the game and I'm afraid the character at the end will kill them all.

It shouldn't kill them but if you're worried, you could reduce the skills a bit.

It all depends on what level of skills and talents the PCs are built with, and how well the players can take advantage of those.

I ran that adventure with experienced players who had Knight-level characters, and they didn’t exactly waltz through, but it wasn’t that hard for them. I did boost the capabilities of some of the opponents by a bit in order to give them more of a challenge.

If you’ve got standard entry-level characters but experienced players, they might be just fine.

If you’ve got new players with knight-level PCs, they might be challenged because there are aspects of the game they don’t know, but I suspect they’d be okay.

If you’ve got new players with entry-level characters, you might find that you have to tone down the opponents a bit.

So, I think the answer is “it depends”.

I'm planning on running it soon. I have 1-3 force users usually, the rest are Edge pcs. One of the F&Ds found the holocron on the merchants shelf in Mask of the Pirate Queen . He just hasn't had time to play with it yet.
