The moment you make use of NPC's like that, you stop responding as a singular character and begin acting like a faction. You're basically playing 'Otto's Mafia', and not 'Otto'. The same way you could perhaps suddenly introduce your 'henchmen' to send after, the opposing player may recruit his own NPC's from his own background, such as 'close friend/family/brother in arms'.
This is a really good point. Speaking personally, I tend to avoid this because it does create an arms race mentality. That said, I don't think Otto said his hounds would be NPCs. Things become vastly different when a player organization becomes involved.
