Jul 14, 2008 6:41:32 Very neat idea. It allows the PCs to have an interesting NPC companion that can never turn into a DMPC. Rather than have individual "Splug Points" why not have a party pool, one that goes up and down in relation to how you, as Splug, feel he as been treated. You might have to limit how many points the can use in an encounter.

I do feel the stupid human bonus is too good however. It's equivalent to a feat, almost for free. I would probably change it to somewhere around +1 to +3.

I think that you're probably right about that. Most of my PCs don't have those skills, and you're only able to do it once per day, so I was thinking that it'd help them out in a pinch. I may adjust it to +3 and see how I feel about it in play.
