[QUOTE="Demetrios1453, post: 6785501, member: 6801060"] Since you're running OotA, I would echo others' recommendations here and run an extra NPC or two to go alongside the player's character. How many simply comes down to how much you think you and your friend can handle. At the very least, I would say you run an NPC as DM, but if you think the player won't get overwhelmed, perhaps he could run an NPC as well. The good thing about OotA is that there are several NPCs that start along with the character(s) who could easily be re-purposed into actual characters - Ront could be made into a half-orc barbarian or fighter, Jimjar could be a rogue (or even bard), Eldeth could be a fighter or ranger (or if you wanted to stretch it, even a paladin or cleric), and Sarith could be just about any class (though you would have to ignore the suggested story for him).
