[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 3178391, member: 9037"] I think well played NPCs add so much to a game. They make the world more vivid. In the games I played in where their was party NPCs that worked we thought of them as a part of the party they got healing first if they were in the most danger of dying we shared loot and magic items fairly we never thought of them as just the NPCs. As a matter of fact when one died we went on a quest to try and bring him back at great risk to us. I don't have a knee jerk reaction when I see a NPC even if it is a DMPC because I have seen them played very well. But I do resent when an NPC comes into a party and they are a high level and they are just so much better than the PCs that they take on a major role not leaving room for anyone else. At that point I wonder why am I even at the table why doesn't the DM rollup some more characters and play my himself. Rant I am getting a litle sick of here DMs rant and rave about how players suck and whine and that we don't bring anything to the table. If you are not having fun behind the screen then take a break.
