(you can probably be a bit more generous with your rolling method doing it this way, too)If you're asked who or what else is in the party, the answer is "Never mind, just roll".Then at the session they'll each see what the others have brought.  Of course, if they're at all smart they'll quickly recruit some henches and-or party NPCs to fill any glaring holes in the lineup, but that's somewhat realistic: any such party is probably going to assess its strengths and weaknesses, and try to fill in the weaknesses somehow.</blockquote>
