Im the kind of DM who takes prewritten adventures and setting packets that authors labor so hard on, and butcher and frankenstein my own worlds for adventuring. This time around my eyes are set on the Legacy of Fire adventure path.
I have the first book of the path and have an idea of where the story is going from the background and adventure outlines. I have to say it is well thought up, but for my setting i would be turning the plot head over heels. So i am looking for insightful perspectives, preferably those who have played/ran the adventure path full through (id hate to have the story break at higher levels, where i am less confident in running/writing for).
Things i want to change to the plot;
1. Turn the templars of the five winds from ginies to litch, id rath undead over outsider
2. Turn Nefeshti into the BBEBG (turning the templars into bbg if they arnt already)
3. Making the goal of the party to become the firebleeder in the name of the good god of the setting, to smite the undead (keeping Jhavhul as a competitor, striving for the same goal)
4.this is my first adventure path so excuse my ignorance, but how relevant will the NPCs out this first book be? And what if i played around with their motives and the like? Would that drive the story drastically off?
the plot it's self would feel a bit more like a Nex/Geb conflict with a redirected focus on divine magic then arcane. The PCs would get a first taste of the litches, wail still trying to fend off the Carrion King. Then when the undead come in full force, its a race to rediscover the ancient ritual to become the Firebleeder, there by infused with divine energies, strong enough to defeat Nefeshti With added themes of treasure and gnoll hunting, as well as fighting against the unholy undead in the name of the setting god. I reolize that thier is alot to this list, and i know alot of answers are going to be "yes, with work". But i would like to know if im better off writting my own stuff or sticking with the rewritten path idea?
