[QUOTE="Jubilee, post: 2633275, member: 36594"] One thing to consider is that your players might be hesitant to rescue the old PC because they know, out of character, that the old PC is not to be adventuring with them (because there's a new character for that player) and they might be assuming that they "aren't supposed to" rescue the former PC. From a player perspective, it's awkward to deal with an old PC once the player has chosen to play a new one. Perhaps you need to clear this issue up with them, or at least bring it up. Like, let them know that it's okay to still associate with the former PC and that it isn't going to force the player to give up his new PC and play that one instead. They'll also feel awkward about who to address when talking to the PC - the GM or the former Player? You probably shouldn't have allowed "intermittent" play by the other player during the game, because it probably added to this confusion. You'll need to make clear WHO is playing that character from now on. :) [/QUOTE]
