[QUOTE="lejanius, post: 5097354, member: 69673"] For me there are only 2 ways to do this. 1. Player cooperation: tell the PC what happened and tell them to keep playing their character with some minor differences (such as things the doppleganger wouldn't know about or do). Give them some guidelines and see how long it lasts. This is my preferred way but it does require the player to go along, which for some parties may not be possible. 2. No-Player Cooperation: This one is tougher and can be handled in several ways. you can have the player "miss" a session or two and run his character, you can keep him in the dark after he goes missing and physically remove him from the other players and run two groups, one with the solo player and one with the other party members and when the doppleganger returns to the party you play the PC while he is out of the room (this has all kinds of problems). You can let the PC control his character without him knowing he is a doppleganger (he is attacked, wakes up and is a doppleganger and doesn't know it). When the time is right you spring the trap. I am sure there are more but this is a tricky situation to handle [/QUOTE]
