[Build Advice] One of the PCs is secretly a powerful archfey

In my experience, giving one PC a huge number of cp that the others don't have leads to major problems. I've done it, the other players were resentful.

If you want a 150 point campaign, then allowing one character to start with 500+ points could be a problem.

This is very much like having a GMPC.

Just my opinion.

I completely agree. Ordinarily, this is a Very Bad Idea(TM). I'm only contemplating it because I've known these people for 20 years and roleplayed with most of them for about as long; they live for stuff like this. Personally, I like things to be balanced - they like whatever makes the story more twisty-turny, and chafe at having to wrangle their character concepts into the typical mold of a 1st level D&D adventurer.
