[QUOTE="DnDChick, post: 45038, member: 54"] Thats what I dont understand. Why does one have to be so exceptional? How is it so hard to run a character and not use OOC knowlege? If the players come upon a dead end and start searching for secret doors, why should it it so hard for me, as DM, to not have my DMPC automatically know where the door is? I just roll Search checks for her like the players do for their characters. If no one finds the door, they dont find it. Just becuase I as DM know the door is there doesnt mean I should automatically let my character know that. Its called fairness. I play a DMPC to get in on the roleplaying and some of the fun of battling monsters. I dont use my DMPC to lead the characters by the nose or give away all the secrets. I think Dm experience and *cough*maturity*cough* have a lot to do with the success of a DMPC. [/QUOTE]
