Suggestions for Imrijka's Mythic Path


Rules Questions and Gameplay Discussion


Since I can't get a wisdom/strength path (which irks me a bit, this is a demon campaign, it's all about strength and faith lol), I'd like to get suggestions from the rest of you. Thinking of going Cold iron Warden if that matters.

Thanks in advance!

Mythic Champion is my default pick for Imrijka, with Guardian as my second pick. I'd probably decide based more on the rest of the party.

There may also be a good mythic path for you to switch onto later on, that does work with Str + Wis.


Either guardian or champion works. I found that the guardian ability helps patch the Constitution weakness if you want a well balanced char.

Echoing others, either Champion or Guardian is good, depending on your party. I went with Guardian (since no one in the party had a decent Con), which ended up being handy both for auto-acquiring armors (there's enough auto-damage thrown around that even random basics are often handy to acquire for one-off use), as well as earning its keep on all the pre-combat Con checks, many of which have pretty nasty side-effects for failing. Rerolling 1s when you spend a charge also works well with Imrijka's tendency to have a bucket of small dice (her built-in-power, Steal Soul, etc.).

Champion is great for trumping a number of really nasty difficulty-increasing monsters (though there are eventually other ways to do the same).


I appreciate the input everyone. Guardian may be a good choice. I guess I'll have to wait and see what the rest of my group goes with. I really was leaning towards Hierophant originally for the wisdom and since Cold iron Warden will allow me to recharge blessings on combat anyway, strength may not be quite as needed; plus I know WotR has a lot of knowledge related checks, which is under wisdom for Imrijka

What are each of your (or any new posters') thoughts on Hierophant?

Now if only using her power to add divine against monsters actually made the check wisdom as well, oh well. :(

Playing Imrijka, you have a natural incentive to seek out and fight as many monsters as possible. And just by the nature of the path (summoned foes for everyone! More summoned foes to close locations!) you'll be fighting a lot. It ends up that you make a *lot* more Strength rolls, therefore, than anything else, so having a path with Strength as one of its attributes is vastly more important than any other feature of the path. It's much easier to cover low stats occasionally with blessings, and be able to auto-pass many combats, than to auto-pass occasional off-stat checks and have to spend resources on every combat.


Yes, I wouldn't take Hierophant as Imjirika - she is going to need the extra Oomph in combat. Especially as you hit the higher path numbers, the monster difficulties can get nasty, even on normal, non-henchmen/villan monsters.

I took Mythic Champion, and have found it very useful. Ignoring anything that adds to difficulty has meant that I can quest through the Abbatoir without worrying about getting wrecked by an already high-difficulty monster (we are running a 6 player game), it means that I can trounce any of the veteran monsters - even the ones that add 2 or 3 times the adventure deck number.

Yeah, it is pretty sweet spending a charge on a triple-Veteran at the Abattoir and auto-ing the check.

Wrath is definitely the set that convinced me that Adamantine style effects could be amazing.


Hopefully this isn't a big spoiler but later if you take the 'advanced' mythic path imrijka can become effectively a freaking nasty warrior cleric - both combat and high level divine spells/wisdom no problem. But even without she's really effective with the right spells. Just got hold of miracle.. such an amazing game changer to be able to pick any spell in the box when the time is right.
