[QUOTE="DalkonCledwin, post: 5900577, member: 6680145"] I was actually thinking of it this way... if a former Player Character that is now retired is accompanying a group of current Player Characters, but that retired Player Character is being controlled by the GM, then it stands to reason in my opinion that if the GM in question wants to advance that character in level or something that the GM should apply their Credits towards that character instead of granting the character a split of the actual player characters encounter based XP. Otherwise it would be very tempting to start bringing along really high level retired PC's on adventures with lots of low level PC's which in my opinion kind of defeats the entire purpose of these types of characters. I also like the idea of having a retired character move on from adventuring and pursuing some other activity elsewhere in the world where it doesn't by necessity have to interact with the characters but where it can still come in and serve as a plot device from time to time, such as hiring adventurers on occasion. This is actually something I have been thinking about more recently as I am thinking I may possibly retire Veniarus. As while I love him and he was my first character on here, I am kind of wanting to try other possible characters out and want to see where things lead me. So I have been thinking about that for a bit of time now. [/QUOTE]
