Da Rules!

As an NPC, I follow different rules and standards then those stalwart adventures that scour the land for treasure. Here are my guidelines:

I must eat and sleep.  This makes a lot of sense, and, with Primary Needs, not eating and sleeping causes attribute loss, and eventually health loss.

I must avoid quests if at all possible. You ever wonder why people always throw their problems at you, expecting you to fix everything? It's because no one else will help them. That's right, non player characters don't want to help people. It's scary! It's dangerous. They could die. So while some old guy sits in an inn asking for someone to help defend his farm against monsters, I'll be sitting and wondering who around here would be brave enough for such a strong monster.

I must only run in a situation where someone would actually be running. How many NPC's have you seen running around inside a town? Unless, of course, there is a psychopath on the loose, I'm willing to bet none. Even on the main roads, rarely are people running. Thus, I shall only be running in combat, or other situations that I deem sufficient important.

And there are the three rules. Next: Character creation and my first night!
