Very recently (as in a week ago) my friend and I started down the path of, well, the adventure paths. I have long been a fan and player of Pathfinder but never had the money for the more expansive things involved with Golarion, like Adventure Path's. That changed. I'm currently going through a Solo Adventure of Rise of the Runelords (so please don't spoil that either) and my friend is DMing it for me. She fell in love with Ameiko in particular (my character ended up staying at the Rusty Dragon during the events of book 1 and 2) and there is now a discussion about who will run who through the Jade Regent.
So with the lead up out of the way I want to know one simple thing. Is it possible to modify the Jade Regent (without significantly changing or even breaking the story) to make Ameiko a PC character and the main character in it for a Solo Game? (One player, one PC. Don't worry about the challenge, we're pretty seasoned gamers and enjoy it. I'm only worried about story elements.) The reason I want non-spoiler answers is because if the answer is yes, I'm running it, and my friend can't read the Adventure Path's. If the answer is no, she's running it, and I can't read it. So we can't actually read it ourselves to figure this out without potentially spoiling things for someone who might be playing it.
As far as what I define 'significant' changes or breaks, anything like having to rewrite an entire adventure path, or create an entirely new NPC to take Ameiko's place, would be significant. If I can modify the adventure path with a few different plot hooks (to get the player going in the right direction) and some minor NPC's, that's easy enough, but the point is that we want to keep Ameiko's role in the story largely intact. And somewhere in between would take more work but I wouldn't mind
So, what do you think? Is it possible? If not, why not? And please refrain from spoilers as much as possible. Thank you!
