[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 2266650, member: 463"] Here's my campaign suggestion, sticking close to standard D&D rules: With 2 PCs, start them at 3rd level, and run scenarios designed for 1st level PCs; the challenge is about the same. Once they hit 4th, treat them as a party of level 3 under their actual level (or 2 under if they have really good stats & are powergamer types); so when they're 5th level you can run 2nd level scenarios, or 3rd level if your players are experienced powergamers. When they're 6th level, let them take the Leadership feat and get cohorts if they wish; let the players run the cohorts in combat and factor the cohort levels into the effective party level when running scenarios. So if you have 2 6th level PCs & 2 4th level cohorts you get a group that's effectively a (weak) Party Level 5, you can run 5th level scenarios if the players are powergamers but I'd recommend 4th. The 3.5 XP rule for cohorts is a bad idea, I recommend giving them a half share of the XP - but they'll earn more because they're lower level, so each PC gets 1/3 less XP but it's worth it for the added survivability.
