Message: <blockquote data-quote="Greenfield" data-source="post: 6041075" data-attributes="member: 6669384">Is the PC an enemy?  Very possibly.  We're in a Law v Chaos campaign, and if she really is an Assassin then she's most certainly not Lawful.  But then, neither is half of our roster.As an Assassin, she's pretty much guaranteed to be Evil as well, but that's not a disqualifying characteristic either.The problem is one of trust:  PCs, of any alignment, have to trust each other.  We trust our lives to our companions every time we run into trouble, so that trust has to run deep.This one is all but unknown to us, has withheld information and been more than a little evasive every time we've questioned her:  Trying to avoid the meta-game language, we tried to assess her skills.  We asked if she had trained in the Arcane arts (rather than asking if she were a Wizard, Sorcerer, or some similar class).  She said no.  We asked if she'd trained with the Church.  Again, she said no.  She's a Sorceress/Rogue/Assassin, and was technically telling the truth about training, since Sorcerers get their magic from natural talent.What we're very sure of is that she has no armor, no Bracers or other items to do that job, and is several levels lower than we are.  She's primarily a Rogue build, and we're going into a haunted house, where Rogues are all but useless.The DM is loading us with an anchor, an NPC who will need rescuing, yet of sufficiently nebulous skill and ability that she'll manage to survive if we don't come to the rescue in time.  She's there to slow us down, and she'll probably get someone killed before it's all over.My only hope is that it will be her, but somehow I doubt it.But despite appearances, I didn't start this thread to gripe.  I did it mainly to get some conversation going.  Share some of your odd dependent NPC experiences.</blockquote>
