He doesn't get his own sourcebook, he isn't likely to be a returning npc, you're not going to invite him on adventures, and you're not going to drop you 10th-level Fighter to start rp'ing the merchant. Once you leave that town, never to return, the merchant (along with his wife and five kids, as well as the rest of the town) cease to exist in any meaningful way in your campaign. Poof."Intra-game" you're kidding right. You play one character with one group of people under one or more DMs. You don't take that same character to every table with you. That's ridiculous. That kind of "well my last DM gave me a +5 holy vorpal avenging defender" crap is exactly why no DM worth his salt would allow a player to bring a character over from another game. And if you do, you make a thorough check of everything on the character sheet for balance and cheesy monkery, that's why it's just easier to say, no.</blockquote>
