[QUOTE="perrinmiller, post: 5761741, member: 88649"] An NPC that is a combatant (whether they are created by the DM or taken over by the DM from an AWOL player) must take a share of XP and treasure when the DM awards them. This is not a reduction, just a share they would be entitled to. Awards are for characters, not players. This will happen in Bloodcove Disguise too. Half the party is NPC'd right now. Now actually APPLYING the awards to an NPC'd character (former player or DM's) is a different story. I would say a DM can do whatever he likes with an NPC he owns (I will with Ariel since she is no longer a player character but still around). An abandoned character, I think should not get to keep any awards time based or from encounters after their last post. The only sticking point would be if the player returned after a month. I would say, they can get their time based awards restarted again and resume collecting encounter awards from that point forward, assuming the DM had not already dropped them from the game. I would count those NPC like hirelings. Mounts and hirelings don't get a share of the awards either, IIRC. Probably my job. I will take care of it. [/QUOTE]
