If people want more PCs, I'm guessing that they can find first level stats in the miniatures stat cards. Or at least second level stats that they can easily change to first level.

From what has been revealed so far, it seems like it will be fairly trivial to scale encounters for more than 4 PCs, as there is an implied level to level ratio between PCs and monsters.Lanefan said:The design they're going for, according to what's been leaked out so far, is 4 opponents for 5 PCs...which makes it easy if you've got 10 (or 15, or 20) PCs and slightly mechanically imperfect (if you care) for scaling to any other number.
Wait? WAIT?Danzauker said:I don't get it.
why don't people playing in groups with more than 5 players just wait a bit before buying the adventure, so that they have the PHB in hands and can make all che characters they like?
Why would that cause a serious problem for your group? Any more than the current assumed four-PC group (for the CR calculations, etc.) causes a problem for my current five-player + DM group?Colmarr said:On a slight tangent, is there any source for the statement made earlier that the default group is 5 players + 1 DM?
That could cause some serious problems for my group, which is currently 4 players spread all over 2 countries.

No DM adventure adjustment necessary. Just have some or all of the players play more than one PC; or, get the DM to chuck an NPC or two into the party.Colmarr said:I (as the existing DM) am hoping to convince one of the players to DM for early 4e, but he isn't willing to do so if it's gonna involve heavy prep time (which it might if he has to adjust for sub-average party numbers).
