[QUOTE="zarionofarabel, post: 8164318, member: 7026405"] Once long ago in my AD&D 2e days I had a party where two players had two characters each, the other two players had a single character each. That experience is what really taught me why, in order to get the experience I look for in an RPG, players absolutely must only have a single character each. It doesn't matter how few players I have they are always limited to a single character. I simply tailor encounters to the smaller party rather than have the players play multiple characters. It's super easy because as DM I can make up whatever I want. In fact one of the best campaigns I ever ran in AD&D 2e was for a single player with a single character. There were never any DMPCs or long term NPCs that travelled with the PC either. The single PC took on the world all alone, and it was one of the best campaigns I ever ran! [/QUOTE]
