Questions regarding family NPCs | Solved

[Oleander Soleran]

Hi all!

I have a question or two regarding NPCs that someone will hopefully be able to answer.

My PC has some family in his backstory (sister and father) that he happens to still live with. Now, reading the lore article on NPCs, I have run into the following formulation:

[Stationary NPCs] must be supported in common seasonal expenses if these are a Personal NPC and not immediate family (ie. Friends).

Does this mean family needs to be supported (as well as not-immediate-family, such as friends)?
Or does it mean family does not need to be supported?

In case they need to b supported; how do their own jobs play in? Can NPCs be submitted as having a job? Since NPC income is not tradable with the PC, would I need to pay their entire expenses despite the fact they make money of their own? (Wouldn't that be unfair?)

I've little experience with NPCs and don't want to submit a mess to the HD, please bear with me.

Thanks for your help!

PS: Yes, I did ask in chat, but chat had no idea either

Hi Oleander,

Close relations, like mother, father, sister etc. do not need to be supported. It's only if it's a friend or non-relative that the support needs to be paid by yourself.

Also, NPCs can't be submitted as having jobs, nor can you earn anything from them, as you rightfully acknowledged.
