[QUOTE="weem, post: 5134984, member: 9470"] I actually used one 2 games ago to fill in for a player who couldn't make it - the "Leader" in fact. I was a little worried because they were relying on the companion to be their healer, and there were only 3 players (so 4 "people" counting the companion). I ran them against a tough Elite and a few others and they did fine. It was tough, but they made it so it worked out better than I was expecting. Usually, when I want an NPC who will be fighting along side the PC's (when they are all playing), I build the character in the Monster Builder, but I think if the NPC is filling in for a missing PC, the CC is the better way to go in the case of the Leader and Defender - in those two roles, I think you need (or should to be safe) make sure they are working with proper powers that define their 'jobs'. Strikers and Controllers I feel are easier to setup in the MB than Leaders and Defenders, so I would probably (at least at this point) continue to build them there instead. This is all in my experience anyway - ymmv ;) [/QUOTE]
