[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 3564831, member: 63"] Playing War of the Burning Sky with a single PC would require a hero who can do a little bit of everything, with a nice emphasis of kicking butt, like Kratos from God of War, though hopefully a bit more noble and heroic. Still, it's a war, so Kratos or someone with a similar conqueror mentality would be in their element. Or perhaps he could be the leader of a group. A few of the adventures do assume [i]some[/i] level of magical ability among the heroes. If you just have a single character, he would definitely need to be leveled up, since the campaign saga assumes a party of four. There is an NPC in each adventure who can act as a guide or ally if the party is short, though those are designed for the assumed party level. I think it would actually be cool to have a PC start off at, say, 5th level in the first adventure (which is intended for a 1st level party), and then to just have him progress as normal. He'd be getting more experience per encounter, and would probably stay at about 4 levels above that assumed for the adventure, which would let him pretty nicely maintain an air of epic heroism as he single-handedly turns the tide of the war. However, he would need to be well-motivated. Like, if his goal was to bring down one of the nations in the war, or to become ruler himself, or to end the war to save his family/wife/children, that could work. I think it would be an awesome idea. If you haven't yet looked at the first adventure of War of the Burning Sky, roguerouge, send me an email at [email]ryanznock@gmail.com[/email], and I'll send you a copy of it. If you like it, subscribe to the rest. I'm sure you'd enjoy it. [/QUOTE]
