Designing NPCs

Building an NPC who plays like a PC, or a skilled baker with no fight in them, means bending the standard creature-building process.

Parent page Building Creatures

Sometimes you’ll design a creature that’s meant to have abilities or characteristics similar to those of a PC. Maybe you need a bold champion, a sly rogue master criminal, or a wizened druid elder for your game. You also might need a common baker, who has little combat ability but great skill with dough and an oven. This section provides ways you might modify aspects of the creature-building process to fit those needs.
