[QUOTE="ravenheart, post: 5567161, member: 72088"] Thanks for the replies! Well, since I'm going to split the party into two groups (at most 4 or 5 characters during a single session, including this char.) this shouldn't be an issue. I also forgot to mention that I'll probably run it as a companion character unless we swap DMs with one of the players, or a new player wants to play this character. The DM-swap was more or less hypothetical, so I'm not sure if it will happen. Characters dropping in and out of parties will be handled storywise, as this is less of a linear dungeon crawl and more of an episodic game (with simulatenous events, branching stories, "sidequests" etc.). And I don't use XP except for encounter design - all characters are equal level.Tell me about it. The finale encounter of last summers campaign was a massive, two part fight with a huge encounter budget, mid-battle milestone and a party of 6 + 1 CC and 1 mount.
