I played in a game where the DMs wife wanted to join us she was a total noob she had never even played video games.  We were 12 level and he made her a 12 level character. She was so lost she found the game to complicated. She quit after two sessions out of frustration. I invited her to play in a game I was starting and she agreed to try it  She found it so much easier and still plays seven years later.If the NPC is not well established then I can see how it can work. The few times we did it , it was with well established NPCs. We joked around that it was like the character had been possessed by a another entity.</blockquote>
