[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 6839157, member: 1465"] I've actually suggested this myself when starting a group a few months ago. I have only 3 players, two of which were new to D&D when we started and the third had tried out only a playtest version of 5e but was experienced in previous editions. So I suggested that she played 2 PCs at the same time. I pre-designed 4 characters (classic Fighter+Cleric+Rogue+Wizard), leaving some details up for the players to fill, and she let the two inexperienced players pick their class, while she played the remaining two (Cleric and Rogue). We started at 1st level. It works very well if the player is a fair player (which she is) and is already familiar with the dynamics of a RPG. She said she didn't really remembered the playtesting rules, but clearly remembered previous editions of D&D, so I am not sure how much this affected her ability to play 2 PCs at once, but we did not encounter a single problem.
