How many PCs are in your campaign?


Shackled City Adventure Path


Greetings and Salutations everyone. I was given the SCAP by a couple friends who want me to run them through it. I have been DMing for a couple years now, and I am looking forward to taking on the SCAP...especially now that I know there is a place for me to work out ideas and questions!

So my first question is: How many PCs do people have in your various campaigns? The book says that the adventures are written with a party of 6 in mind, but that seems awfully cumbersome. However, I am also gleaning from the posts that I have read that the encounters are pretty tough throughout the SCAP.

Has anyone had trouble leveling up their PCs when they ran the campaign with 6 PCs?

Has anyone significantly modified the material as written to accommodate a party of 4?

Thanks All!


Hiya Mr Peepers,
I think you will find that this question has been answered a few times throughout the forum its just a matter of looking. That aside, from everything I have seen... you could very easily run the game 4 - 6 player without it effecting leveling/treasure/deaths too much its just a matter of deciding whether you would want 6 players as a social thing or not. I am running 6 players just so that I get to hang out with 6 of my mates rather than just 4 for example. The game is fast paced enough not to become slow or boring. Cheers
