My group with little help on my part managed to get out of the funnel with one dwarf, one cleric, one wizard and one thief.
I was wondering: if a PC dies (it's probable at least one is going to die in the boss battle they're about to face..), i decided to have the player roll 3d6 stats in order again to create a new character of the same level -1.
But if the character who died was a thief, should the new PC be a thief as well, to fill the void in the party roles coverage?! This way unless more than one PC dies in the same session, players will always have to play the same class.
Also, stats rolled for the new PC might not be right for the intended class.
I'm tending towards letting players pick whatever class best fits their new stats, without paying too much attention to party roles.
But should i tweak adventures and challenges differently (like... less traps if no thief) to conform with the new party or should i just leave them as they are: having 2 warriors will make the party stronger in frontal fights, this makes up for not having a rogue when you need it?
Thanks for anyone so kind to help
