The POV and character control will switch back to the original characters, but I’d like the doppelgangers to continue on their own way and reappear later in the campaign as more typical alternate versions of the heroes.

Sounds great. Is the plan for the players to “swap over” to the original party, or continue life as the doppelgangers?

It’s going to be brief to avoid too much wasted character development, but I want to use it as an opportunity to explore issues of identity.

Yes it is. At some point also the Dwarf Druid’s mother will make a guest appearance (I’m not joking, she is). I guess our story so far is Fantasy Soap Opera but with dick jokes.

That’s classic Soap Opera/Dragonlance for sure 😉

And I finally can contribute!

We had a similar situation in the group who have the curse of me DMing to. We had two twin PCs, the one the evil twin of the other. Two Drow (one Draconic-line Sorcerer, the other a Rogue), one CG the other CE.

It was great to see them having completely different opinions in some matters but because they had shared the same womb the one took care of the other. It was really rewarding for me to hand over Inspiration in many occasions. Sadly, the CG Sorcerer died (not his evil twin’s fault) and now his brother has collected his finger and is hoping to be able to resurrect him some time in the future.

Also, I’m planning in introducing as a villain one of the other PCs’ brother, who happens to be a CG Gnome Rogue. Well, the villainous brother does exist in the PC’s background story (as provided by the player himself) so I’m seriously contemplating in having him make an appearance.
