I'm preparing to run Wrath when my group finishes the current AP (Crimson Throne). During the latter part of that AP I noticed that having a voice in the party is really helpful for me. I can close any gaps in the party loadout, thereby freeing them to play what they want, and I can give them hints and nudge them to roleplay if necessary, without it coming from the disembodied voice behind the scenes.
My players likely won't have a divine caster, the only healer being an Investigator. He will probably be able to deal with HP damage in downtime, but in-combat healing, buffs and remove X will be a rare commodity (apart from items maybe). I was thinking to provide them with a GMPC who can heal, possibly taking Hierophant and/or Marshal path to best enable them. Something like a cleric, bard, etc..
I'm reading NobodysHome's Journal, and he did have a GMPC with them, so it seems possible. On the other hand, the AP is already pretty full of NPCs who can accompany the party, and who I want them to engage with.
How doable is a GMPC in Wrath?
Hi there, my group will be finishing Crimson Throne soon, and we're looking for a new campaign. Our finalists are WotR and Azlant.
Maybe you can tell me about Ruins of Azlant:
- how is the fights/RP balance?
- How linear is the story? Lots of small missions, or more straightforward?
- it looks like a lot of mystery/detective work, with the BBEG only being revealed pretty late, is that correct?
- does it involve colony building rules or anything?
- it sounds like a rather slow campaign, is that so?
- is there much that needs to be rewritten or changed?
- Other things I/we should know about this AP?
Thanks in advance!

My players are currently within Scarwall, and I'm thinking about how to approach the last book, including the Deck of Many Things. I'm mostly happy with it, but some cards don't feel right to me. This is especially true for Cards that kill/remove a character, because it's either "waste a harrow point", "waste resources reviving them" or "new character" (As I don't think they would - for example - travel to the plane of air, just to get their companion back.
So my goal is to use the hivemind to find other fitting effects for those cards.

Hi guys, does anyone else feel it's a bit weird that only one of the PCs gets this powerful McGuffin, and the Rest of the Party gets nothing "special"? I don't want any of my players to feel overlooked, so I thought about designing flavorful items or boons for the rest of the party. Has anyone done something similar? Am I overlooking something? How did your party react to only one wielding the cool sword?
The title is vague to avoid spoilers, I'm of course talking about the Harrow Deck of many Things.
I was reading the Anniversary Edition rules for the use of this deck, and it's not clear to me when the PCs should be allowed to spend the Harrow Point to redraw a card.
Should they know what exactly is going to happen, and then be allowed to instanty counter the card? That seems a bit Meta to me. An alternative would just me as GM telling them how bad the card is ("annoying/really problematic/you might lose the charakter/you will lose the charakter), but that can be subjective, and I don't want them to feel cheated.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance. ^^
Hey, so I recently got my hands on the anniversary edition of CotCT. I've been running the path for some time now on the old material, and my Players were just at the start of Book 3, just after Meeting the young noble.
My problem is, that the AP suggests the PCs being Level 9 after dealing with the Emperor, but Level 10 before entering the final dungeon. How on earth is that supposed to work if they don't murderize their way through the Arkona's Palace? Glorio's whole point is to try and solve things diplomatically, but even the XP reward for that is not enough to Level up.
I couldn't find this Topic anywhere, so maybe I just misunderstood something...
