What can PCs do with monsters? The only thing to do is to fight them. But with NPCs! You can fight them. You can talk to them. You can trust them, you can mistrust them. You can ferret them out. You can trick them into revealing themselves. You can love them, you can hate them, you can dance with them at the Emperor's New Year's Ball. You can seduce them. You can end up with children by them. You can buy from them, you can sell to them. You can win their trust. You can rescue their daughters. You can hire them. You can get jobs with them. You can infilitrate their organisations. You can bring social pressure to bear on them. You can discover that they are in the right and that the person you work for is in the wrong.Monsters are second only to cut-and-dried-alignment-that-can-be-determined-objectively as a cause of unnecessary dullness in D&D.Regards,Agback</blockquote>
