Message: <blockquote data-quote="s/LaSH" data-source="post: 479218" data-attributes="member: 6929">I've occasionally run NPCs along with the party IMC, but the sojourn was either short-term or the NPCs became PCs (each player in my group now has two PCs). It's kinda weird. I think the PCs should indeed be the focus, and NPCs performing important tasks isn't a good idea, but an NPC that fills a vital role is also important, just so long as they don't get the spotlight.There was this one time where I had a high-level NPC along with a low-level party, but because I only had two players I was able to do something special for the final showdown with the high-level villain: I gave the hero NPC to one, the villain NPC to the other, and let them go at it. It was fun, gave the players a taste of high level powers, and an awesome fight to boot.</blockquote>
