Found out a few weeks back that we would be playing Revenge of the Runelords when we reach 12th level. I am playing a wizard and am trying to decide if I should play “on brand” as 1. a runelord archetype and going on to Avenging Runelord Mythic vs. 2. a Universalist wizard Heroic Scion that is a reincarnated Xin. For those of you that have played it or are playing it, would option 2 thematically fit with the story? If not, and you’d recommend option 1, what runelord would you recommend as the avenging one? I was thinking Thybidos, but wasn’t sure if I should select one that was in the other runelord AP’s (Alaznist or Karzoug). Just trying to fit the narrative in an interesting way that goes with the adventure. Thoughts?

(trying to avoid spoilers) IMO, either concept would be thematically appropriate.

It just depends on how heavily you want the specific character to lean into the runelord theme vs. a Thassilon/Varisia theme...


Angothane the 2nd Runelord of Wrath, Atharend 2nd Runelord of Gluttony, and Jurah 4th Runelord of Envy could be a fun thematic choices, they were all killed by Xanderghul.
