Switching out a character - how do you do it?

[jduteau]

I started WoTR with Kyra, Alain, Enora, and Imrijka. I have two parties going through each of the games and wanted to ensure that I played as many different characters as I could. I just realized that I should have gone with Shardra instead of Kyra as she can play a similar role.

I have finished the B scenarios and the first scenario of Adventure 1. My idea was that I go back and replay 1-1 with the party with Shardra substituted in for Kyra. That would allow her to gain the skill feat from the Fall of Kenebres, but her deck wouldn't have the upgrades that the others do. That would also leave her one card feat behind the rest of the group.

From perusing the forums, I realize that how you substitute characters in is generally a house rule thing, but I was just wondering how others would do something like this? Would you give Shardra the card feat anyways? Would you not bother replaying the Fall and give her the skill feat as well?

Just wondering...

Personally, I wouldn't even replay 1-1. I'd give Shardra the feats Kyra had and what I felt like were equivilant cards. If possible, I'd build Shardra deck from Kyra's as much as I could. But I'd keep the number of Basic, Elite, and deck 1 cards the same overall.

I'd have to agree with Hawkmoon on this. Since this isn't organized play, you can use his guidelines to switch over. No need to replay this early into the Adventure Path.

Whenever I start a new campaign, I always use Adventure B as a testing opportunity for characters. Basically, players can swap characters at any point before Adventure 1 if they're unhappy or want to try someone different, and can keep whatever boons they have so far when switching.
