First time playing Pathfinder, first time messageboard poster.
I will be running Curse of The Crimson Throne AP this weekend.
I had a question on character advancement.
I read the discussions that most of everyone agreed to go with fast.
If you have 3 players rather than 4, should it be medium?
Would 3 players at medium be the same as 4 at fast?
Thanks

If you were going to play with 3 players and not adjust encounters to take the loss of a person into account, 3 players should actually gain experience faster than 4 players so that their APL remains even with what a 4 player party would be at.
Yeah, I will not be adjusting the encounters.
Thanks, that helps greatly!

I just realized I didn't really answer the question. Use the fast experience table. Since you're only dividing experience between 3 players they should naturally fall into a leveling line after a few levels so that they are at the right APL. Your biggest issue will be the first few levels, and first level in general. You might want to let them start out at 2nd so they won't be at a disadvantage out of the gate.
