[QUOTE="jdavis, post: 653085, member: 8704"] Wow I'm like two pages behind here. I agree with you, My statements were a little heavy but the basic point I was trying to make was that if I go through all the trouble to make a character that's purpose seems to be to give the DM a NPC that he can use later then I really wouldn't care as much about the character as one that was 100% mine. I normally don't mind if my characters live on in the game, but what if my character showed up and did something so wrong or out of place that he would never of done if I was playing him? What if I wanted my character to just retire into obscurity, but hten later found out that against my wishes he had been brought back to start adventuring again as a NPC, or had been killed in a battle or had become a King somewhere, or any of a thousand things that were not "my character retires into obscurity and lives out the rest of his life in wealth and comfort." Lets say you wnated to go drag racing but your car wasn't fast enough, so you came over to my house and took my car to go drag racing with, then when I got mad you said but it's ok I won. Yes that is far fetched but a lot of people take their characters to be as personal if not more personal than their car. Characters being included in the game as NPC's later is fine, but if the player says NO, I don't want you to use him, then that should be the end of it. [/QUOTE]
