[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 96681, member: 1125"] I always have my PCs with a level of NPC in their somewhere. NPC classes count as -1 ECL (as per) and since I don't use favoured class penalties thats not an issue for me (and I don't think they should be countered even if your DM does follow it) Anyway I make it mandotory if we have a level 3 start that the first two levels are NPC classes and if we have a level 1 start I count the NPC class as -1. RP wise the NPC class allows the character to build a real background for the character explaining why the Aristocrat son of Sir Gaulpok is now an adeventurer or why your scorcerer has ranks in craft tailor [/QUOTE]
