Come december, I'll be running this campaign for a group potentially as small as 3 people. I know that this is already a difficult campaign with 6 PC's, as I am currently running it for a group that size. I was wondering, if the 3 PCs were kept at 1 level above the curve and made gestalt, would it be balanced and kept at the same challange level it would be for the 6 PC group?
They went hunting for the Lake monster! The knew where the children were being held, but decided to look into the lake monster for the heck of it XD. So, despite the strong protests from the party Fighter, ("Look how big that tooth is!!!!") they went out in the midde of night on a very dark and foggy night in 3 boats. After sitting around for a while, the Figher (also an elf), hears something swimming up from beneath one of the other boats. He tries to warn the other boat, but alas, it is too late. The montser breaks through the boat the other character (who was by far the most powerful and overpowered PC in the party) was in, bites him for almost instantly lethal damage (he was at -3 hp), and drags him down into the depths. The other PC's promptly row back to shore. Because of their actions, the lake has been closed to all activity, are down their most powerful party member, and they were given gold by Vhalantru in compensation for their loss and the warning about the presence of the monster that their comrades death has given them. Until that session, I did not know the infinite limit of PC stupidity. What do you guys think?
I'm getting this in on wednesday and will be running it for a group at college. Two players are new and two of them quite expeirienced. I'm very liberal in what I allow in my campaigns, so they are playing a wearbear and a Dragonkin. Now, I've figured out how two manage balance untill the party hits the level for when they can use those characters. However, I'm wondering if these uncommon and potentially very physically powerful PC's could somehow adversely affect the campaign. Now, I've heard this campaign can be pretty nasty, so is this undue worry on my part, or are their some precautions I should take?
I'll be running this with a group in college very soon. The book arives on wednesday, and we will start the week after. 2 members of the group are new, and two are very expeirenced. It's not the new ones I'm worried about. I'm very liberal about what I let people play. The two new ones are a elan and a halfling, but the others are a Dragonkin and a Werebear. I've figured out how to handle the ECL to balance things out (one won't come in untill fourth level and the other is level 0 untill level 4), but I'm worried if such unique and most likely powerful PC's could have a drastic effect on the campaign? I've heard this campaign can be pretty nasty, so, should I be worried about them dominating it, or can I rely on the badguys to be fine if I play them well? For the record, I don't plan on pulling a single punch. |
