I guess this just shows that I've never thought about it all that deeply. This is how I've always viewed it. I have an NPC in my current campaign I'm running that started out as a Magician I played in Everquest, then a Warlock in EverQuest2, then he became a Wizard in D&D 3.5e, and 4e. I played him as a wizard in a 5e one-shot. I know that my brother used him as a villain in a game he ran. I wouldn't have played it this way, but ultimately I enjoyed hearing about his heel turn and conquest for power even though it ended in his demise.Now he's a wizard NPC who identifies items for my players. It's the same character, while also being a different character. It's fun to think of these "What if" situations and the different ways his story could play out.I can see now that I appear to have a much more open attitude to this than a lot of people, and I'll have to keep that in mind as I make NPCs in my campaign inspired by PCs I've played with in the past.</blockquote>
