Working in things for a specific character (spoilers)


Rise of the Runelords


So, I am finally starting up a rise of the runelords game using my copy of the anniversary edition. I have begun the process of getting together my players for the game (my group is large and we have several games going on at once, so its kind of a process to figure out who is or isnt going to play in a given campaign).

Spoiler:

Well one of my players wants to play a Sin Eater Inquisitor. When she told me this, I had to stifle a smile, because of the prominent focus on Sin in the adventure. She is still working on her backstory, but in general I feel like a sin eater could be really cool in the adventure, and could turn into some really interesting moments as the main plot unfolds.

But as much as it clicked in my head that this could be really cool, I am not sure about specific events or details to use. I have a sort of writers block on where to go with it. Any advice?


The most obvious hook is, of course, the

spoilerspawn:
sinspawn. Maybe they're so sinful that that consuming their sins taints the soul, putting a mark on the sin chart? (I haven't read the last few modules closely recently, but AFAIK all this does in the early modules is affect the haunts the character may trigger. In the late modules, I believe it just gives them weapons to use from the 'real' runewell.) You could also play with consuming them being equal to being bitten, but that may not be fun, depending on your group. Maybe their sins are worth more hps because they're so concentrated, or something.

You might also cook up some new responses from Aldern, if you play him as obsessing about her character. The ghouls could represent greed, and I shudder to think of the sins of the ogres.

It's late so I'm kind of blank right now, but I think eating a Runelord's sins should be pretty epic. Sorry, I'm not of much help right now. :/


any other thoughts?
