Legacy:Npc

Version 1

Date: 2009-01-06 01:29:52 GMT Author: pm Comment: Initial version

Not specifically related to [[Ars Magica]] in particular, but to [[RPG|role-playing games]] in general, *NPC* is an acronym that stands for Non-Player Character. An [?NPC|Non-player character] is a character that is played exclusively by the [[Story guide|story guide]], and whose motives and incitement are therefore hidden from the [[Troupe]]. Not necessarily antagonists, the [[Story guide|guide]] uses [?NPC|Non-player character]s to confront player characters in myriads of facettes and levels of power.

The opposite of an [?NPC|Non-player character] is a [[PC]], a player character.
