	:Hey, Ron! Nice to be back. As to the Native Monster categories, I figured that they served a random encounter list purpose. I included the three ghosts because it would be perfectly reasonable to randomly encounter them as wandering monsters in and around Forlorn. I was basing having unique NPCs/monsters on the random encounter tables included in the bestiary sections of the Pathfinder Adventure Paths (I base most of my game design/play around Pathfinder these days). Any how, if you'd rather not have the NPC ghosts in the Native Monster section, that's perfectly fine and I'll remove them.

	::No, you raise a good point. Upon further reflection, there's no reason not to include individuals that might be likely to be encountered like that on such a list. Especially since the monster types will naturally by categories, based on our conventions, and the individuals will be pages, so they'll be nicely sorted on the Native Monster Category page. What I'd like to avoid is including every individual in a domain, or people you're not likely to bump into on the street or in the wilderness. Do we really want Azalin as a Native Monster of Darkon, for example? (reminds me of the random darklord encounters in Roots of Evil. yuck!) So, I think your Forlorn ghosts can stay.

	Hi Chris, nice to see you again. Quick thing: my intent with the "Native Monster" categories (like [[:category:Native Monster of Forlorn]]) was to include creature races, not individuals. (individuals would go in the "Inhabitants" category, whether they were a monster or not.) The idea was that once those categories got well-populated, they would serve as a sort of random encounter list for the domain. But, I'm open to discussion, which is why I haven't removed your recently added NPCs from that category. What are your thoughts on the subject? -- [[User:Gonzoron\|Gonzoron]] 06:10, 26 July 2014 (MDT)		Hi Chris, nice to see you again.
