I'm planning on making the Seven Deadly Sins a MAJOR focus of my RotRL adventure that is starting next week. With the introduction of mythic rules and the Shattered Star AP it seems that the Runelords and Thassilon are going to get some more love.
A few ideas I've already got rolling around:
- Finding one of the Seven Swords of Sin early on, carrying it around through most of the AP unwittingly. Sword slowly regains its powers. Will either corrupt (if wielder gets too many sin points) or will purify the sword if enough virtue points are accumulted
- A few NPCs becoming 'avatars' of sin later in the AP (ie - Lonjiku as an avatar of Pride)
- After the AP ends, have the rest of the Runelords awaken, and defeat them (nullifying the entire Shattered Star AP, yeeeah) (using the Mythic rules yet to come out for the most powerful)
- Runelords each carry one of the pieces of the Shattered Star (with a modified order), with Xin awakening + Thassilon returning as the most epic of epic encounters
Things I will be drawing both content and inspiration from:
- Shattered Star AP
- Full Metal Alchemist (homunculus ftw)
- PFCS: Artifacts and Legends (Seven Swords of Sin)
I would love to hear some other higher level ideas (and maybe some introductions from lower levels), and other sources for me to draw on.
