[QUOTE="Holy Bovine, post: 3661552, member: 203"] I play in one game where I am controlling two characters (a Warmage and a Fighter/Cleric). I am the only one doing this and I have found it really keeps my interest in the game - previously I would get bored with one character and be itching to try something new. I also almost always DM so i am used to controlling 3+ NPCs in social situations. That said i have tried something a little different. Normally I do not plan anything out and go with the flow of the game to determine what my character learns. This time I decided to plan out the warmage while leaving the Fighter/Cleric as my 'normal' PC. I have found it to be rather challenging as a player to do this. I decided to go for Green Star Adept (Complete Arcane) and started my Warmage looking for greenstar metal. This lead to a fun side quest in which the party races to the site of a 'fallen star' to see if there is any GSM there. It turned very dangerous as a Vrock was digging around the site and we were nearly killed! My warmage, in gratitude for the party helping her, forfeited her share of the treasure save for a 1 pound lump of green star metal. It was a fun side quest that never would have come about if I hadn't had my character planned out. Working with the DM in this case brought out some excellent encounters (we had to trek through heavy forest and even visit a Inn that had been nearly destroyed in a previous adventure). [/QUOTE]
