Thank you, but as I feared I wasn't clear enough XD

I meant an heir outside of the main party, that's why I'm so worried about a good place to put it in the adventure, if it's even feasible...

Hello there! My and my friends have started JR being still kinda new with the whole pre-written adventures, so we've followed the first three volumes pretty closely, but now that we've matured we know a little better what we want and what we want to change.

So, that said, I feel like the first part of the fourt volume, with the Prince, is kinda there to be there, when the characters (and for sure my players) would just want to say "okay, bye, we're moving on to Minkai". Since I do like the festivities and the Prince because it's a roleplay-heavy part (which we like), I was thinking that maybe when they go to say hi to the Prince - cause they have to - Suishen may 'sense' another family weapon, dormant but still 'alive', and ask the characters to try and find it.
My bigger question is: since we're halfway in the adventure, does it make sense to suddenly have another weapon as such? Would it be better to also add another (maybe still not recognised) heir in the adventure, or leaving it for a possible post-game? Is there even a good place to find another Family Seal and then the heir?

I'm sorry, I'm not even sure I have expressed clearly my doubts and my ideas XD Feel free to ask for clarification if you need XD I'm interested in all of your ideas and suggestions <3

Thanks a lot for the input, there are a lot of interesting ideas here :D I think I'll stick to the pathfinder templates, but the 3.5 are quite interesting, too... maybe later in the game, I could add them too.

Hello!
I've been lurked this website for a while but I never posted anything - now, though, I really need some help and I'm hoping you can help me :)

Me and some friends of mine are creating this short campaign with steampunk elements and I'm the one who has to master the first session (we're taking turns in mastering) and I have idea but I'm not sure how to realise them XD

In short: the session starts with them scouting the forests around the city 'cause a druid came to tell them there are some strange happenings around - I don't know how the story will actually go, but in my idea there's an evil dude that's experimenting on animals to make bioconstructs - and this 'bioalchemy' has started to call out to demons.
SO I want them to have to fight first normal animals that you can find around when you go in the forests, but then I want them to find a Mantis (it is pretty important that's a Mantis, for me, but I could be convinced to use another animal) that's augmented - both with constructs feats (even though it's a partial construct) and with demonic feats (because demons attracted by the bioalchemy has started to possess stuff - or maybe the evil dude has started using also demonic power to augmented things, dunno yes).

sssssooooooo my question is: does any of this make sense? XD And - how do I actually do it? I've looked around the templates but I can't seem to find something that really satisfies me, neither with constructs nor with demons. I'm just not sure how to do what I want to do XD

I'd also like to have a session that's not only combat, but I don't know what else make them do but rolling surival to track down the animals.

The party is formed by a paladin, an arcanist, a warrior, a brawler and a druid, lv 10

I'd add a tl;dr but I don't know how to summarise XD Thanks to anyone who'll help! And Happy holidays :D
