[QUOTE="pming, post: 7442624, member: 45197"] Hiya! "Allow, but it's infrequent". This goes for most RPG's. Exceptions there are, like Hackmaster 4th. In HM4 there are rules and methods for a PC having Henchmen as well as 1 Protoge. Neither are [I]quite[/I] the 'same' as a PC in terms of freedom and XP earning...but Protoge is pretty dang close. My players tend to only play one character at a time in most games. Sometimes they'll get board with a PC and make a new one. I let them bring in the new PC and play them concurrently. The old PC then "retires" or otherwise leaves the group (and becomes a back-up PC, if needed). Doesn't really bother me as a DM. It just gives me more PC's to kill. ;) ^_^ Paul L. Ming [/QUOTE]
