You'll probably see some DMs running NPCs via the player client; "plot" PC characters, due to how kludgy the DM client is right now. This was true to a certain extent in NWN as well, but I'm giving you the official heads-up. We'll try to keep players appraised of which characters have NPC status. Keep on your toes, though.
And with that my character Bartok Sibyl Crane; once he shows up will be an NPC/PC. So you all know. He is for running my Silverfish plots.
Sasha Eldas is an NPC/PC of mine (the account - Shaman - gives it away a little).She's fun for me to play while the DM Client is so.. clunky. Roll on the next patch.
Vivian Faure, NPCArchmage Gradus, NPCKillian, mostly PC. If I have great difficulty with the DM client, I may occasionally launch something with him.
Jack Maybe is a PC, please treat him as such. There maybe very slight instances of metagaming where I intend to help PCs get used to 'life in Haldun' or pass on knowledge of the city in an IC-fashion. Jack will get no special benefits nor favours, is not immune or invincible or instantly level 20. (so please nominate for RP )
But anyhow rambling about my former sex life aside...
