Yes, same here. If an NPC is going to travel with the party for a bit, I generally see if I can pawn them off onto a player to run. I've got enough to do. Another thought ... the party can always tell the DMPC/NPC to get lost - "we don't need your help."

I'm more concerned with a DMPC than a second rogue in a party. If it is really supposed to be an NPC, I try very hard to find an appropriate statblock to base it off. It sounds to me like the DM needs a chance to play. If they are excited by a cool character concept, reserve it for a PC, not...

60+ but it makes me wonder what that number would be if I hadn't drifted away from rpgs from my late teens to mid 40's. Another military brat here, so I moved a lot and had to find new groups, which was not particularly easy during the Satanic Panic.

I miss the old bounce off stone walls lightning bolt. A stun to effected creatures would be cool though.

I agree that the Passive Perception autopass/autofail may tend toward monotonous or trivial when there are frequent secret doors. I would handle it by treating secret doors as puzzles. The party knows the door in there, but how does this one open? Now the players can roll (active) Perception...
