What to do with an NPC Companion...

from How to Be a Better DM: Dungeon Master Tips for the DM Newbie, the Hobbyist and the Forever DM · host Justin Lewis

The problem of the NPC companion... the poor shmuck that your party drags along with them that YOU suddenly have to play as if you were both a player and a DM. They are just trouble, right? NO! If you learn how to pick your battles when using them in combat, roleplay situations, and other situations, you'll see that they can add to important moments without being a drag in the meantime.
