Will the tradition of introducing the party's competition (Storm Blades, Jade Ravens, and I can't remember the names of the AoW ones) continue in Rise of the Runelords?

God, I hope so. Right now, my group is having so much fun competing with the Jade Ravens. The only one they like is the sorceress.


Everyone always likes the sorceress (yeah, bad joke, I know)

Auric's Warband...but except for ol' Auric they really aren't that memorable, it's true.

I'm not sure at this pont. Currently, there's no rival party in Runelords' outline. It's a cool concept, but I'm wondering if having it appear three adventure paths in a row isn't too much? There'll certainly be a competitive element in some of the adventures in Runelords with rival characters (especially in "Hook Mountain Massacre") but there probably won't be any longer arcs.

You know, I'm no marketing guru or anything, but it could be kind of cool to have a contest where the winners could get their character as a member in the "official rival party" or something stupid like that.

Okay, I've got a rival party for that aysh:

Snarki Snarkisson: Fighter. (later werewolf) humon.
the Jade Master: Bard/Monk. Humon. 22 cha. 19 int.
Fakhi Fakiri: Cleric/Monk. 1/3 dwarf, 1/3 orc, 1/3 humon.
Esquire Sebastione: Rogue/Sorcerer. dwarf.

Yeah, we'll beatcho p.c. party down for the McGuffin.

You sure? Has he skill ranks in disguise?


I would think, that if there is going to be a listing of a group of iconics in each installment of Pathfinder, you could very easily just use those as your "rival's" . . .

just a thought.

Hmm...the only one I can't figure out is Fakhi Fakiri...who could that be?

Would it help if I tell you that Heathansson had a reason not to write:

Esquire Sebastione: Rouge/Sorcerer. dwarf.

?


That's great. *laugh* I didn't get it until that post either.

No, not really.

Besides the punny name, I'm sad to say I don't get it.
