I HAVE GREAT AVATAR IDEAS
For the Many, Not the Few


If I was going to include an old player character as an NPC, I wouldn't hesitate to make them something like how they were played in the campaign they came from, but the heroic spotlight has been taken off them and onto the new NPCs, so they'd be less overwhelmingly powerful and influential. So an old fighter who'd adventured in his youth and become a powerful baron would still be a powerful baron, but he wouldn't have his Sword of Everythingslaying +99 and his Obliterate Enemy daily power - he'd just be a NPC authority figure with an interesting history. That way you can still have continuity and do callbacks to old player characters if your players enjoy that sort of thing, but you're not making them a special snowflake DMPC. :shobon:
