The last time we knew a player was going to be out of town his PC ended up in jail. If it does not make sense then the PC becomes an NPC and the DM runs him except during combat then a player does. If that happens the player gets full XP. The longest we ever had a player out was a good friend who had to be in Georgia for his job for months on end he often came back during the weekend. So basically THE DM played him as an NPC and when the player came back he played him. I think the main reason the DM did this was because he was the only cleric we had and this made more sense then bringing in an NPC that didn't fir the story. We sent him emails of what was going on and he would let the DM know if he wanted anything special.</blockquote>
