Message: <blockquote data-quote="Richards" data-source="post: 7943230" data-attributes="member: 508">She's always played by one of the players - I have enough to keep track of with the monsters and non-party NPCs.  We used to have a dwarven cleric of Moradin NPC to provide healing for the party, but she got killed on a rather permanent basis.  So this elven druid, the pre-established little sister of one of the original PCs, got brought into the group to replace her.  Passing her around from session to session for someone else to play allows the players to share the burden and also get a taste for running a spellcasting PC (for our newer players who tend to run more physical combat types).However, that said, now that the PCs are 19th level and just about everyone else has a familiar, animal companion, or dedicated henchman associated with their PC, my son runs the druid on a nearly permanent basis.  The fact that she's 5 levels behind the rest of the party makes it easier for him to run her as well as his own PC, and since his PC is a gnome fighter he isn't already inundated will spell prep.Johnathan</blockquote>
