Just gonna add my thoughts here. I am going to go with Jinx on this one. Two NPC dreads would be awesome, however we don't dictate the server. Clearly, it's an issue and it is important for everyone's enjoyment that some form of understanding can be achieved. There are plenty of "loopholes" one can loose themselves in if one wishes, but again... consistancy is paramount in a RP environment. If nothing else, to allow everyone the same benefits. There are going to be those who disregard this notion of fair "RP" but you'll find that anywhere. Like Jinx, I think a player enforced sanction is in order.
JMHO
Have fun!

Player enforced? Like shoot first ask questions later?
