[QUOTE="Menexenus, post: 2801596, member: 8951"] [b]Works well for small groups.[/b] When you only have 2 or 3 players, allowing players to run multiple PCs is a great solution. The current campaign I'm playing in has a military theme, and each of the 3 players started the campaign with 6 PCs, a leader character with a PC class and 5 subordinates who all started out as 1st level warriors. (The subordinates receive half as many XP as the lead character, but they are permitted to take PC classes after 1st level.) Over the course of a few battles, we've lost a few of our subordinates due to attrition. But the concept has worked quite well. As you pointed out, having multiple characters allowed each of us to create well-rounded mini-parties where each "squad" can act independently or as part of the whole group. Obviously, our group's main emphasis is not on story-telling/character-development in the White Wolf style. So running multiple characters might not be for everyone. But it has worked quite well (surprisingly well) for us. [/QUOTE]
