[QUOTE="Evilhalfling, post: 4853342, member: 16991"] I'm sorry I just like halflings. My first DMPC: A human monk reincarnated as a [B]halfling.[/B] Stayed LG but started taking levels of Thief. He had 3 rings of elemental command, and was always looking for the fourth. He thought it wearing all 4 would make him a demi-god. He rarely attacked physically, mostly using the rings. He adventured with the party and was the same level, he had no special powers outside 3 RINGS of ELEMENTAL COMMAND! & lvl 7 monk abilities. Much of his time was spent breaking up intra-party fights. After that game ended he went on to Spelljammer, and was eventually enslaved/eaten by a ship of 25 mind flayers. Uncle Sly: (human!) my worst DMPC. He was the wizard of a legendary party of heroes that adventured exactly 100 years before the PCs. He was trying to use PCs as catspaws in a fight against a lich. His modus operndi was to show up drop hints, hand out magic items and leave. He rode around in a flying chariot pulled by winged panthers (as seen in WORMY comics in Dragon) Uncle AL A halfling Psion whose many legends the PCs heard about long before meeting him. By the time they met him, his body had been killed and he was trapped in the body of a rat. He needed alot of help, and had less scruples than the PCs, although they had caught up to him in level. The campaign ended 1-2 sessions after he showed up. the last (I hope) An undead halfling (psionic) who was cursed for eating the bodies of his companions to survive (eventually still starving to death). Served as a henchman for 2 sessions before dying tragically to save a PC. He teleported the PC out of an explosion the PC caused, which turned the dungeon into a 100' deep perfect, half-sphere crater. (gotta love a good crater) At one point he confessed he thought he might be the halfling messiah, but he wasn't sure. To be fair the PC who actually [I]was[/I] the halfling messiah was never sure either, despite the large cult that followed him. Several hundred years later, halflings are still arguing about the PC, while the DMPC is completely forgotten. Aside from the first DMPC, they never fought very well, and only the second had DM fiat-based powers. Hopefully I am getting better. [/QUOTE]
