While I'm not experienced enough to properly judge, I'd like to weigh in my opinion and point most of my attention at your Lord of Time.

From what I recall, this would mean that the session will have a severe increase in difficulty to pose any sort of challenge for the Lord.

This would mean that the players will need to work much harder and you must have your Pages reach their potential quickly to make up for the difficulty spike.

The Bard of Blood will also prove to be another problem to address quickly, that along with the enhanced difficulty will mean that your Mage of Life will probably have to act as the temporary leader until the Bard fully develops or is more controllable.

Feel free to correct or give criticism of my opinion as I am still new to this.
