Hey guys, started tonight with a 3 player group...I have only gamed with 1 previously, but it was cool..
I started with my favorite Level 1 intro adventure "Funeral Procession" from issue 135.
Game is starting in Sasserine, which I set in the Shackles.
Teifling Magus
Half-Elf Gunslinger
Asimar cleric of Sarenrae
They are about 3/4 through with this, then begin on STAP in earnest.
I am leveling them(no XP) because I want to add stuff in (like The Styes series) and the lost temple of Demogorgon, so the advancement is going to be slow, at best.
How do you think this party will fare? I'd love to have a full fighter, or arcane caster in the group, but until I get a 4th, I think they'll be OK...
This is a tough campaign, so 3 characters instead of 4 can be a bit harder. But if you give them a head start with "funeral procession" this should probably solve itself.
The group might need a rogue, especially when they tackle the Lotus Dragons.

Magus will have a hard time near the end of the campaign, at which point energy resistances/immunities will seriously hamper his offense.
Your players will probably want a real arcanist starting about midway through. Inability to teleport is potentially campaign ending. The cleric can somewhat cover down with wind walk.
You will have to add in some gun-related treasure.
I would offer the Magus the opportunity, if s/he so desires, to rebuild as an Eldritch Knight.
Alternatively, allow them to recruit NPCs to accompany them - the Jade Ravens perhaps? - to make up for the lesser party volume, and open up some more resources.

So, they finished funeral procession, leaving one brother and Eldara Lilybrook alive but unconscious, then on to There is no honor. Took the job from Lavinia, and proceeded to clean up the Blue Nixie. A tough fight, but they persevered.
Now I need to figure out where to have Vander Anderhoff and Eldara Lilybrook try and exact their revenge on our heros....
Next Monday it's off to the Vault. Still could use another player or 2...Anyone in Northern Delaware? LOL
