[QUOTE="VGer, post: 1126240, member: 7043"] I don't question his will to play. He will start to work at very odd hours, some weeks will work all night, other weeks will start working at 5AM, and so on. I have in the past said NO to people who wanted to play "once-in-a-while". But for years, he has never missed a gaming session. I want to reward that. Unfortunatly, Friday night is the only time when we can all get together, and deals with wifes have already been made. You can't change a deal with a wife :D. The NPC can be a solution but since I would have to control the character when he is not there (most of the time) it wouln't be HIS character. And if the NPC is not always there it can be hard to put him there, because we sometimes (well, most of the times) end a session in the middle of the aventure: "You are going to open the door? Ok, we continue next week". That is why I would prefer the magic item aproach. Maybe a modified version of the horm of Vallhalla that always summons the same guy. The same 1st level coward guy, that in a party of 6 level wouldn't unbalance things. Nah, this wouldn't be fun. Maybe a ring? "You find a ring" (Players Detect Magic, "is magical") later "Ok, we ended last week as you were going to open the door. Suddenly your ring gets starts getting hot. You throw it on the floor and it vanishes. In it's place there is now a weird guy looking very confused. He says "who the hell are you?" This [I]could[/I] be fun. [/QUOTE]
