i have an awesome plot idea for a new campaigne and wanted to share. the character's begin as 4th level simulacrums of whatever class they decided to write up without any knowledge of thier past. reason the characters have no knowledge is the wizard that created them ordered them to forget their past from the moment they left the city the wizard was in. the PC's of course start adventuring and get on the trail of the BBEG which is none other than the wizard who created them. after 2 or 3 games and awarding low EXP (not enough to level up because they cant)they barge into the wizards tower. the wizard looks at them and smiles and a second later another group of heroes barges in. the PC's are shocked to discover that thes heroes look just like themselves. the wizard tells the PC's to kill the other party as the wizard himself escapes. at this moment the party should be extremly confused, they go to kill the wizard only to have the wizard tell them to kill the other party and are obligated to do so without a saving throw. the party will surly perish by characters who are exactly like them but 8th level and will have a couple more items. as each PC dies i describe how they dissolve so as to add to the confusion. finally after the whole party has died i hand over the 8th level characters to each party member and bring them up to date on the situation and then the real game begins....which will have them perhaps fighting other simulacrums. what do you think? has this been done before?
