And yes, the Giant Bow with it's damage and poison is a NASTY threat. So as it stands, Jake (as one of the elite fighters of the Na'vi) is a PL 7.5 for the most part with all his stuff. Plus, guys in Walker-Mech suits basically beat the snot out of them with ease- Jake is barely able to fend off the evil General dude in the movie's final moments. They can only barely defeat most of the big monsters (PL 8-10) of their universe, and can't defeat large military ships without aid from their Mounts. The Na'vi are big, tall and strong, but are very lightly built for such large creatures.

I had to make some decisions about the PL in this 'verse, and figured PL 8 would be the best one. By the end of the movie, he's no longer an 'Avatar'- his self is completely transferred over to his Na'vi body. Despite being rather clueless and naiive (but tough), he is immediately marked as a 'chosen one' by the Na'vi tribe's God, Eywa, and eventually comes to adopt the natives' habits (and of course, bone their princess). Jake Sully is the main character- a marine thrown into the 'Avatar' program to help better understand/spy on the natives of the planet Pandora (which has Unobtainium on it).

Look at 'Star Wars'- that movie stole from as many things as 'Avatar' did, so you know they're in good company. You wouldn't think something that essentially borrows from every other piece of fiction ever, using zillions of well-established and often-dead Tropes (Seducing Chief's Daughter, White Dude Meets the Natives and Becomes Their Leader, Searching for Unobtainium- and they ACTUALLY CALL IT THAT), Taming the Legendary Monster, Becoming One of the Tribe, Environmentalism, etc.) would be so awesome, but it's said that everything steals from stuff- all that matters is how well you use it. Okay, 'Avatar' is a pretty seriously bad-ass movie.

I wonder if the flavour text of the Tinkerer's Stove is a reference to the second Broken Sword game? At one point you have to infiltrate a warehouse and this involves dealing with an obnoxious guard who eats nothing but beans he cooks on the stove in his guardhouse.

This is further referenced in the text for the Mercredi, in which it's stated you're 'about halfway through the Barons', obviously referring to Mercredi - or Wednesday - being the 'middle' of the working week, and depending on whether you start your week on Sundays or Mondays, it's either the 4th or 3rd day of the week, the former being the middle and the latter being the day before. Firstly, Samedi is the French (as Gaslamp are a Canadian studio, some grasp of French is arguably a given) word for Sunday, and Mercredi is the French for Wednesday. (and, if one feels like going so far, Pizza the Hutt from Spaceballs due to the food reference). Secondly, its name and text are references to Jabba the Hutt from the Star Wars universe.

Firstly, treants can drop fruit and bananas are a fruit. There's a named Treant called Banana the Hutt, this is a double reference.
