Hi! I am currently running a campaign with my wife as a solo player and myself as the GM. It's a converted and heavily modified Curse of Strahd campaign but we also started Extinction Curse.
For the CoS campaign I have already been simulating fights with her ranger which hits stupidly hard, but I am foreseeing a rough go of encounter balancing due to action economy and lack of flexibility of a solo party. For folks who have used the variant, would dual-classing be a decent solution? I am hesitant to drop that on her as we already have allowed her the free archetype: beastmaster because she loves animal companions.
Another solution I thought of was to utilize NPC (the dreaded GMPC's) and giving her one to control. Has anyone else ran a solo player campaign that would like to chime in? Thanks for reading!
