[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 3352904, member: 29398"] Our groups (whatever edition) these days tend to be about 5 players running a party of about 10 characters including NPCs, QPCs, and so on. I'll always allow people to play 2 characters at once and prefer to do so myself...a good example of why came up this weekend. Party is reaching the climax of a long adventure. One of my characters dies in a preliminary encounter just before we get there. She's raised in the field, but has to rest a day before she can function...so the party put her in a safe place and because there's a time limit on what we're doing carry on straight into the (we think) final battle with the BBEG. If I didn't have a second character in the group I'd be sitting and watching for a few sessions (or not bothering to turn up), which kinda defeats the purpose; but I do, so I can keep playing. 'Course, the BBEG has my other character dominated now, so I'll be sitting and watching for a while regardless, but them's the breaks... :) Lanefan [/QUOTE]
