Hey new GM and i have a odd question

[erikkustrife]

Well i know a gm can run a pregen as an npc if the party needs a extra player, but what if the party needs 2 extra or 3 extra?

[Nebten]

I would recommend reducing the challenge rating of the encounters so they wouldn't need so many NPCs. Otherwise you'll just be fighting yourself for 1/2 a combat.

Hey Erik.
Question: What do you mean by "run a pregen"? Do you mean "a gm can run a pregenerated NPC if the party..." or do you mean "I know a GM can run a pregenerated adventure as an NPC if the party...."

Knowing the answer will affect my answer!

[Rynjin]

If the party needs 2-3 extra people, you've probably only got 1 guy.

I'ma take a wild stab and say this is for PFS because of the reference to running pregen guys? I don't think you can use more than one.

If your PCs need a little extra help, let them hire a a mercenary, or a holy man, or maybe even a cut-purse, but I would suggest against any DM run party memebers, players dont usually like them
