Hello, I'm relatively new to Pathfinder (I recently converted from 4e), and I'm going to be starting a Jade Regent campaign with seven PCs. It's going to be difficult, but I've run games with that many people before, and things tended to work out. I assume my GM style and my players' styles are at least somewhat complementary to having extra players (though if this turns out not to be the case, I've got contingency plans).
So, to the point. I was wondering if any of you had any ideas for making Jade Regent (or at least Brinewall Legacy) work for this many players. I don't plan on tracking XP, so that shouldn't be a problem (though CR will be helpful in converting certain encounters). I'm planning on mostly just doubling the monsters for most battles (as my party is somewhat OP), and beefing up bosses quite a bit.
My party is made out of the following characters:
Half-Elf Inquisitor
Elf-Treant Ranger
Duergar Monk
Elf Wizard
Half-Orc Fighter
Gnome Bard
??? Magus (possibly replacing Ameiko? I haven't decided yet whether to offer that option to that player. I know it would probably simplify things, as there's too many characters (PCs and NPCs) as it is.)
So yeah, any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
