[QUOTE="Olaf the Stout, post: 5086727, member: 13703"] There are a couple of things that I do in this situation. 1. The player runs an NPC that is currently with the party. At the moment the party has a Favoured Soul NPC (was previously a PC but the player changed characters) that basically functions as the party heal-bot so if anyone is killed they could run that NPC until theirs is back in the game or a new character is made. 2. The player runs some/all of the monsters for me. This is normally really good fun in my group. You get some PvP action without all of the bad feelings and anger that are often associated with that sort of situation. And some friendly smack talk happens at the table between the players and their new "enemy". It also frees me up as DM as I don't have to concentrate on so many things at once. Between those two options that's done the job in our campaigns to date. Olaf the Stout [/QUOTE]
