The math is pretty good, so I bet you'd find it works fine.However, instead of 625 at level 2, you'd have 600 XP level 3 characters, and this level-up would occur an encounter or two later. You'd have 700XP worth of level 4 characters (if you even make it to level 4 by the final encounter, but you could make sure it happens) instead of 875. And the encounter is, what? 1350? Parties can pull off double their XP if they have all their resources and roll well, but it's pretty unlikely.So while the 2nd level thing works at the beginning of KotS for four players, you'd still have to do some balancing by the end.Fitz</blockquote>
