[QUOTE="Herobizkit, post: 5669925, member: 36150"] Many suggestions abound. Pathfinder generally assumes 4 PC's in standard adventures. How about letting your solo player run an NPC sidekick (pun intended), or perhaps even a second PC? 1. According to the d20srd.org, a Five-headed Hydra is a CR 4 monster. This assumes four standard (ie. non-optimized Warrior/Rogue/Wizard/Cleric) PCs with a level 4 average will give it a good run with some loss of resources and probably no deaths. Three level 3's may well get murdered unless they're optimized with high scores and level-appropriate gear... unless the hydra has less heads. 2. A second Warrior type or a Warrior-themed Cleric may be what you're looking for; the Cleric could easily be themed with your Elf Paladin. What you need are meat-shields, people with either high AC or high HP, or both. A Rogue might also be useful, as she could use the Paladin or the Monk for Flanking damage. 3. Again, according to the treasure tables, 900-1200 gp worth of stuff is appropriate. Throw in 1d3 mundane (non-magic gear/equipment or alchemical items) and 1 minor magical item. I defer you to @[U][URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=19675"]Dannyalcatraz[/URL][/U] for all things monk-related. [/QUOTE]
