[QUOTE="Acquana, post: 2644743, member: 1616"] Uh ... I roleplay everyone except for the PC's themselves as the DM. It's just the way I do it, because I think it's more dynamic for an animal companion who isn't quite intelligent to act on their own, or for a sidekick, hireling, or cohort to be more than just "that dude that gives my character bonuses" ... which is sadly what tends to happen in some games. All too often in the games I was a player in any of the second-string characters not controlled by the DM were near-forgotten for the most part. Of course, I just have lots and lots of fun acting as lots of different characters with different attitudes and gestures and motivations. So it seems only natural for me to play out the extra stuff, and come to think of it I've never had a single, recent DM who [I]didn't[/I] roleplay those kinds of characters. The only one I had that let the PCs do it was Rangerwickett, and he stopped allowing people to after a point. favoring them as NPCs rather than just extra PCs. [/QUOTE]
