Adventure path

[Dominico]

Hi all, loving the game. Just a quick question. If you are doing an adventure path and someone dies but one survives I'm guessing toy can go to the next adventure as you did complete it. Your friends can start new characters Abe continue with you. However when you complete the whole adventure adventure path does everyone still get the reward.

Short version do yo need to complete all scenarios to get the adventure reward, or just the final mission?

So, as written, the rules say this:

Rulebook v3 p14 wrote:

If your character dies, start a new character for the next scenario. Choose a character card (it can be the same character who just died, though you do not get any of the feats that character previously earned) and build a new character deck as described in Build Your Character on page 4, choosing only cards with the Basic trait. If your party has begun the adventure The Hook Mountain Massacre, you may ignore the Basic trait restriction; instead, you may use any cards in the box from the base set and the Character Add-On Deck, as well as any cards from an adventure deck whose adventure deck number is at least 2 lower than that of the adventure you’re currently playing.

So yes, you can start the next scenario with the surviving characters that successfully completed the scenario.

And there is this about the reward on the adventure card:

Rulebook v3 p19 wrote:

If you’ve successfully completed all of the scenarios on the adventure card, you earn the reward on the adventure card.

So technically if you complete all the scenarios you get the adventure card's reward. If you died and started a new character in the middle of the adventure, then you didn't complete them all.

However, that being said, if you are playing by the official character death rules (i.e. start a new character with no skill, power or card feats), then I would let the character get the reward for the adventure. They've suffered enough of a penalty by loosing all their feats. And the intention of the rules for character death seem to be to not require you to replay the earlier scenarios.

So play on and whatever the group earns, give to all the characters in the group at that time.

Yeah that seems fairest to me. If the party survives. Thanks for the quick response.

Being that or group enjoys the game so much,we all went back to scenario one with our leveled characters to bring Harsk back to our level when he died mid Adventure 2. When I almost died in A6S2, I fully planned to just solo Kyra to that point before we played next.

How you play the game is completely up to you, but I don't like giving rewards when the requirements weren't actually met simply because it's more incentive to run through again. Well, that, and I'm the group rules lawyer.

Hahah yes I think if you follow the wording EXACTLY it seems you must have been in all missions. But you could argue the skills increase is for the final mission and the xp it brought. Depends on how you like in the end though as you both said.
