Players **ARE** allowed to play multiple characters in the active adventuring party, with some limitations. #### Limitations - The DM has sole discretion to revoke the ability for a player to play multiple characters if any of the following situations occur: - The additional Character(s) being played prove to be overwhelming for the player controlling them to manage, both in combat and out of combat. - The additional Character(s) present limit the way the party approaches scenarios or engages with the campaign setting. - The additional Character(s) directly contribute to negative experiences within the party or limit the ability of another player to directly engage with the campaign due to the inclusion of the additional Character. > [!INFO] Number of Additional Characters > Any number of additional characters can be stored by players in the [[Party Hub]] (Stronghold, Airship, Camp, ect.) provided the party provides enough resources to maintain their upkeep (Gold, Food, ect). > [!WARNING] Party Challenge Rating > Players taking control of multiple characters in an active adventuring party must understand that the additional Player Character increases the CR rating of the party, and also shares in the splitting of XP by the party on encounter completions. Unlike the [[Companion]] system.
