I use one more often than not, and during 4E I almost always used one if the party had less than six players. 4E really lent itself to running one more than other editions, minimizing most of the usual problems though slowing combat down a bit.I've found there are a few general rules:1. The DMPC does not take part in party decision making2. The DMPC does not speak to NPCs(These two make it generally helpful to create a character with an antisocial personality)3. The DMPC has few if any problem solving noncombat abilities, and if they do those abilities are put into the hands of one of the players4. The DMPC shouldn't have a big impact on the story, compared to the PCs</blockquote>
