I appreciate the advice and the sympathy.A few things I wanted to specifically address.That was painful for me to hear (read?), because it's true.In hindsight, I should have immediately spoken out when I realized that the sister's boyfriend was acting under the assumption that he was just going to join in.Instead, since I tend to shy away from being assertive (unless I've moved past that to being aggressive and lashing out at someone), I only managed to ask him what his name was and what character he was making...which, if anything, probably made the implied message that I was acknowledging his joining the group even more explicit.Simply put, I'd prefer not to have a group of more than six - in fact, five is closer to what I'm comfortable with, but I can work with six. Seven, however, is where I draw the limit...at least right now.Now to just try and find a way to doing this without coming across as a hardass, or hurting anyone's feelings.Woot! Thanks for those! I didn't even think to look on Paizo's forums, but the second link you provided led me to this thread:<a href="http://paizo.com/paizo/messageboards/paizoPublishing/pathfinder/adventurePath/kingmaker/convertingKigmakerStolenLandChapter1For6PCs" target="_blank">Converting Kingmaker: Stolen Land (Chapter 1) for 6 PC's</a>Which solves a lot of problems, at least for now.Thanks for that - I'll probably be using your formula after we finish the first adventure (and the above link has exhausted its usefulness).Also, kudos for the math to back up your point - I love it when people show the underlying mechanics for how these things work.I used to rail against anything that wasn't done by-the-book. Now that I'm actually back behind the GM's screen for the first time in a long while, the shoe is on the other foot in my mouth, as it were. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
