[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 900070, member: 7635"] A great example of Pet NPC Game I played in over college. The DM had a pet ranger he had written a long story about in High School. We rolled up PCs for his game, and after 5-6 sessions of not really having much to do (long story), we met his pet, a famous hero of a bygone era. He was a member of a Harper's like society, which we were able to join. There is were it got bad. The plot moved to an evil-force destroying the world and NPC was the choosen one to stop it. While he didn't hang around much with us, he did manage to show up at critical moments to save us from conflicts we COULD not handle on purpose (such as 5 5th level PCs vs an 18th level psy warrior) and became more and more the focus of the war (kinda like Neo in the Matrix). After the game ended for various reasons (not the least being we could do nothing of importance but be there at important events) we found out that the world would end because of this NPC and there was nothing we could have done to stop it, nothing. I told him next time, I'll just read the book. [/QUOTE]
