[QUOTE="GlassEye, post: 5900559, member: 40413"] This is something I've been mulling over for a while and with recent character retirements brought back to the forefront of my mind: What do we do with retired PCs? Obviously, they become NPCs. How can they be used? Does anyone have the right to use them as NPCs? How much influence should the NPCs former player have on the ultimate disposition of these NPCs? If used as an NPC that accompanies a smaller adventuring party what division of experience & treasure should be used? I like the idea and think it is perfectly acceptable to say 'X goes off and does this,' when retiring your character. I think, however, that once a character is retired it should be open to the community to use as an NPC however that person sees fit. In other words, I don't think that retired PC should be the exclusive domain of the person who created that PC. I feel that retired PC should have an NPC entry made on the wiki with a link to the character sheet. I'm uncertain about experience and treasure division for NPCs. Maybe that's already covered in the rules somewhere that I don't know about and someone can hopefully chime in about that if it is. Otherwise, I think I'd like to hear a few comments about it since my thoughts on the subject aren't very solid atm. [/QUOTE]
