Replacing lost players in Wrath? Looking for advice.


Wrath of the Righteous


Hey folks,

As I work my way into book 3 of Wrath, I've had a player decide to depart for thesis land to return at some later date. To keep the party up to speed, we'll most likely replace him with another player.

Anyone have any ideas about how to do this, given the narrative? The events that empowered the party were pretty unique. Would the game still play smoothly with a higher-level non-mythic character tacked on? Is there a smooth way to explain a new mythic character joining in?

I'd like to hear your thoughts/ideas. Thanks!

It's probably best to come up with a reason the new character became mythic away from the story reason in Wrath. Maybe they are the child or powerful servitor of a god, or a great champion that slew the mythic goblin chief that threated his home village. Maybe the PC's stumble upon a Azlanti champion that was somehow sealed away for all time until they release her. Or maybe the character was empower by a terrible demon ritual, but managed to fight off the abyssal taint and now has to constantly stuggle with their dark side.

These are cool. Thanks!


James Jacobs has said several times that the stone didn't so much empower them as unlock the potential already there. If the heroes weren't destined to be mythic, the wardstones' power surge wouldn't have made them so. So it's not too hard to fluff another pc from the other border cities.

You could introduce another character, that has been used as a guinea pig by the demon alchemists tinkering with their source of mythic power. When I had to remove a character, his mythic potential found a nearby vessel (kinda like in Highlander), this could happen after a mythic enemy dies.
