01-03-06, 12:27 AM As fate would have it, my gaming group has kind of fallen apart and we're left with only three characters, but they're deadset on playing this adventure. Should I let them start at a higher level? If so, what level? Gestalt characters? Thanks for your advice.

01-03-06, 04:32 AM It really depends on what classes and levels they have. Additionally, a couple of cohorts might do the trick too. If they want to keep their characters, you may add a short adventure to level them up, rather to have them start at higher levels and be "prepared" specifically for this campaign.

01-05-06, 02:07 PM The early encounters are tough and those at the end are too easy. I think 3 would be enough, but make sure that one is a cleric. You might want to allow your PCs to run more than one char. If they are experienced it should be no problem.

01-06-06, 03:53 AM A Cleric is a Must Have. This is about the only must have class though.

A Rogue is good but not Vital (Trapfinder).
Meat Shields (Fighters/Barbarian/Paladins/Rangers/etc) helps alot.
Wizard/Sorcerer helps.
