So I'm currently running through Strange Aeons, and my players just finished the first book. For reference, I'm done reading through the third book myself. My problem is that this AP seems to rely heavily on the PC's being (at least mostly) the same throughout the entire AP. My problem is that out of the 5 PC's that started the AP as the amnesiacs who were Lowls' previous bodyguards, only one of them remains (3 of them died in the first book, while the final one had to drop the game due to time restraints).

What should I do in this case? This AP seems to rely so heavily on these PC's trying to unravel their pasts, which at this point only really pertains to one character, and if she dies, none. I've worked in that one of the new PC's was helping Doctor Lisandro, and was also given up as a sacrifice to the Mad Poet, and had lost his memory as well. The other two are not amnesiacs (one being the sister to one of the original PC's who is trying to find out exactly what happened to him and caused him to be admitted to the asylum and his ultimate death, with the other being someone who was sent to be undercover in the asylum to spy on lowls after suspicion started to rise about him.) My worry is that the campaign might start to not run as smooth, especially if all the original PC's are dead.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.


Hey guys, so I was curious on how exactly alignment would have to work for a vigilante. So I'm currently making a Vigilante for the Hell's Rebel's Campaign. The idea is for the face/normal identity to be someone who is friendly with many of the people in house Thune and the Guards of the town, while the Vigilante side would be the one helping the rebels and doing all the fighting with them, with her eventually going into the shadow dancer prestige class to achieve full stabby assassin.

My main concern is that her Face form would be lawful evil (I took the ex-asmodian campaign trait and the idea is that her family has always been a pretty chummy with the leadership but she's decided to stray from that but hasn't actually told anyone) although she wouldn't ACTUALLY be lawful evil, and be more of a true neutral (Her vigilante alignment) and would be putting on the Lawful Evil as a guise to keep up her appearance. So my issue would be, would she actually HAVE to be a lawful evil in her acts (she would have no issue pretending to support the various things happening, and even doing some light evil things to keep up the ruse, but wouldn't actually be evil.) or could it just be flavored that everyone just believes she is Lawful Evil aligned? I know this idea is kind of backward, with the face (Normal) version of the character, being the more "fake" or "masked" version with the vigilante being the more "true" to her ideals version.

Sorry if this was a bit convoluted but just wanted to kind of see what everyone else thought and how this would actually play into the class.
