I've also posted this on Paizo's board, but I thought I would solicit feedback here, too. Possible spoilers for the Age of Worms campaign below!
Strange predicament: my wife's group recently disbanded just short of the climax of 3 Faces of Evil. Since I, too, wanted to run the AP, we've decided to continue the adventure just the 2 of us, with my wife playing her character from the abruptly ended campaign plus 3 made-over characters from campaigns past. We made them over at 5th level with 36 point buy, incorporating as many of the current rules set to reflect the characters' abilities and personae as possible. The result is a fascinating mix of unusual characters, but I wonder if they have the firepower to progress far in this killer campaign. What are your impressions (keeping in mind the unusual limitation of one player playing all 4 characters)?
They are:
N female half-drow Archivist 5 (the divine caster/researcher) (Heroes of Horror)
CN female half-elf Warlock 5 (the blaster/archer/secondary melee combatant) (Comp Arc)
CN male half-elf Beguiler 5 (the expert/arcane caster) (PHBII)
N male half-orc Barbarian 5 (primary melee combatant/secondary archer)
I ran the characters through the encounter with the Ebon Aspect and they survived, though just (I started the encounter with 20% of hp and resources (spells, etc.) depleted to reenact the point at which the old campaign ended). They are about to see to a proper denoument for Dourstone and Smenk before accompanying a friendly Allustan to Blackstone.
