Non-Player Characters

Non-player characters, or NPC's, are characters in the story who are played and portrayed by the DM and serve as civilians, nobility, enemies, and more to prevent the game world from being empty. NPC's can become player characters, or PC's, who are played by the DM if the story allows or demands for a specific character to join the current party. NPC's who become PC's do not revert to NPC's upon leaving the current party; instead they become inactive PC's. NPC's may have character classes without becoming PC's played by the DM.
