I want to ask a question about a party. I'm GMing and I want to know if a campaign a particular set of characters would be too hard to run: we are only 4 people (so 3 PCs) and they all want to be a support class. I want to know how to deal with that (so Asking what challenges to use in my adventures, for example). Can I ask a question like this?

\$\begingroup\$ Can you provide more detail, especially what you mean by "work" and "too hard"? \$\endgroup\$– C. RossMar 22, 2014 at 17:37

I'd say so, but you're going to want to be as specific as you can be. Things like:
- What classes specifically are they using?
- What problems are you expecting that to cause?
- What adjustments, if any, have you already made?
If it's just a vague concern about unspecified classes, it's pretty hard to answer. If it's a specific concern about specific classes, someone can probably answer how to mitigate that.

\$\begingroup\$ As an addition to this answer, asking a vague 'what challenges can I use' as a general open question probably wouldn't be OK, but giving party details and offering a specific challenge for people to critique would \$\endgroup\$– WibbsMar 23, 2014 at 11:17

\$\begingroup\$ Also, you would need to define success criteria. Some GM's consider a 50% casualty rate acceptable, others wouldn't dream of it. \$\endgroup\$– C. RossMar 24, 2014 at 21:06

\$\begingroup\$ I don't know - "will this work," "is this too hard," all signs that someone needs to figure out how to ask a not purely opinion question. Technically yes, questions about a given party's strengths and flaws or combat efficiency are OK but not when stated in this way without clear requirements. \$\endgroup\$– mxyzplkApr 1, 2014 at 12:28
