[QUOTE="IronWolf, post: 5902257, member: 21076"] It was in the general thread and centered more on does an NPC reduce the amount of gold and XP available for the party. Full share taken out & received by NPC Full share taken out & partial share received by NPC Full share taken out and none received by NPC No share taken out from party funds and none received by NPC Are we talking all NPCs or just retired PCs that become NPCs? And I am not sure I agree we even have a problem, is this the worry that is putting this to vote: Is this a problem now? Do we have people abusing the use of their retired NPCs? I think it would be difficult to abuse this too much in reality. I know as a player if I found a GM had a habit of habitually using an NPC as a tag-along with the party I would simply stop playing with that GM. DMPCs (whether they be retired characters from the past or straight up NPCs) can be annoying when used too much. I am just not sure I see making a decision for partial award of loot and experience is warranted when I don't think we actually have a problem. This seems such a corner case to base an entire ruling on that deviates from a potential norm. [/QUOTE]
