[QUOTE="Agent Oracle, post: 2922705, member: 40076"] <gollum>We hates them! Filthy Hobbitses..</gollum> Seriously. Once, way back when I started playing D&D (just before AD&D) I was the GM, and I ran a NPC / Pc. Lizardman, cleric. Gave him some wicked powers, and was a total gloryhog. 'cause I knew whenever the baddie was low enough on HP for my Main character to killsteal. I stopped doing it after a campaign though, becuase I realized how lame it was. Since then, i've been in MANY campaigns with GMPC's. most of them badly run. -The Werebear fighter / wizard (who was either forgotten in the heat of combat or else hogging the glory) -The Trio: "Bob" "Elf-Girl" and "Dwarf-Guy". The GM didn't know descriptive adjectives, so his campaign was a wash. but he ran 3 GMPC's with the party. "Bob" was his favored Arrow-fiend build fighter (didn't even have a melee weapon on his character sheet), "Elf-Girl" (I'm not making that up, it said "Elf-Girl" on her character sheet) Was a pacifist who existed to stand in the back of the party and wait until the battle was over and heal us all. Dwarf-Guy was ALSO a pacifist, who equally existed to stand at the back of the party until the group was near death, then throw out an 8th level "Boom". -The Bishonen: Drow (Same race, with a homebrewed +0 LA flavor!) Schitzoid pacifist prince / Homicidal half-cat who'se trigger to change was.. what else? combat! My character had him in manacles and hobbles for most of the campaign, at least, until we could get him restored to power, and cured... and we were happy to leave him behind, only to have theGM bring him back as a enemy (with JUST the homicidal half-cat in charge) He was actually pretty well run though, if you discount the gratuitous RP.
