    \$\begingroup\$ Related, may contain a dupe: Is it possible to play the D&D Starter Set with fewer than recommended players?, How can I tweak the Lost Mine of Phandelver for only 2 player characters?, Should I adjust the Starting Encounter for Lost Mines of Phandelver for this party? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Mar 15, 2020 at 14:01
  • \$\begingroup\$ I just realized that LMoP does not have a paladin, so my suggested answer is dead. Question: is there a fourth close friend/relative who could join as the Fighter?(If your wife is the cleric, which is a great choice). (I am guessing "no" but i figured I'd ask). There is a resource here for free that you may find useful as a DM \$\endgroup\$ Commented Mar 15, 2020 at 15:21
  • \$\begingroup\$ Hello and welcome to the site. Unfortunately, your question is hardly answerable in its current state and needs to be more focused. You haven't played yet, and we do not know what problems will you face (having 3 players instead of 4 probably is the lesser one). I suggest rather than try to anticipate any number of potential problems, try your session and ask us about any problems you do experience. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Mar 15, 2020 at 15:26
  • \$\begingroup\$ @enkryptor he's trying to get ahead of it so that there won't be problems. He's playing with his wife and kids. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Mar 15, 2020 at 15:28
  • \$\begingroup\$ @KorvinStarmast unfortunately, no there isn't a fourth player available at the moment \$\endgroup\$ Commented Mar 15, 2020 at 15:29
