Me and two other friends have decided to start playing DnD again. I know it's a bad time for that, but my one friend and I have not played anything in years. My other friend has never played a RPG before. We're starting with Rise of the Runelords.
Now, how difficult would it be for this to be played by only two players? What classes do you think we should take? Races? I'm going to ask the DM if we can use the gestalt rules, but as I've never used them, I don't know how viable that would be. Also, a part of me is wondering if a gestalt character would be too difficult for a newbie.
If anybody has any advice for me, please pass it along. Thanks!
