There are only NPC's and PC's. This is a term used outside of the limited conventions of the game system. This isn't the only term to have been coined outside the game system to describe something relating to it. This one is simply to better define a sub-classification of an NPC or better define a different type of PC all together (as its own classification). Some people don't feel the need to use this type of classification and some people do. But there has been plenty of supporting data in this thread showing why some people feel the need to use it vs. not using it....and plenty of people who don't see the difference.So, you either get it or you don't...because no amount of explaining is really going to make a difference at this point.</blockquote>
