[QUOTE="Eryiedes, post: 5120154, member: 88686"] Sample NPC: (Inspired by Mike Grell!) Name: Travis Morgan (Yes, I have an imagination...I just couldn't resist!) Alignment: Good Class: Warlord 1st Race: Human Deity: Avandra Background: Military Str: (12/+1) Des: (13/+1) Con: (11/_) Int: (14/+2) Wis: (12/+1) Cha: (14/+2) AC: (15) Reflex: (13) Fort: (12) Will: (14) HP: (23) HS: (7) ATB: (_) ATR: (+1) ATM: (+1) Perception: (11) Initiative: (11) Feat: Race - (Human Perseverance/ Stubborn Survivor/ Tactical Assault) Armor - (Clothes/ Leather/ Hide/ Chainmail/ Light Shield) Weapons - (Simple Mele/ Simple Ranged/ Military Mele) Class - (Tactical Warlord/ Tactical Presance/ Combat Leader) Powers: At Will - (Opening Shove/ Furious Smash/ Commander's Strike) Encounter - (Inspiring Word/ Warlord's Favor) Daily - (Fearless Rescue) Skills: -History (17) -Athletics (18) -Intimidate (17) -Diplomacy (17) -Heal (16) -Endurance (17) Equipment: (31lbs combat wgt....64lbs travel wgt) -Leather Armor (15lbs) -Light Shield (6lbs) -Longsword (Weapon of Quality...add "high critical", see Leafsword in my album pics)(4lbs) -Dagger (1lbs) -Crossbow & Quiver with 30 bolts (6lbs) -Adventurer's Kit (33lbs) -(25) gold coins Background Story: Raised by his godfather in Nentir Vale when his family was butchered by giants in Geoff. Ogden introduced young Travis to Douven Staul as an assistant in the hopes it would rid the boy of such foolhardy and vengeful notions. The plan unfortunately backfired, as most of Ogden's plans do, and instead of a helper....Travis became a student of martial knowledge. He instilled in Morgan the love of tactics and strategy, secretly hoping it would keep the boy safely away from the "frontlines" of combat. Through history he was taught that: "The sword is simply a tool...but the MIND is a weapon!" Unlike many of this time he does not have much faith in the god's if they would; "let his family be slaughtered so". Seeing so much brutality at such a young age has numbed Travis to the random violence of combat and he displays callous disregard for his own safety in the heat of battle. In the presence of cruelty, the warmth and compassion simply drains from his eyes and his trembling stone cold gaze has stopped lesser men in their tracks. Despite this, he has a good nature and is always ready to extend a hand to others in need....Ogden didn't fail entirely. Something like this (Noting "Douven Staul" is the first modules unifying npc adventure hook....all participating players should work in how Douven affected their life for the sake of the narrative and metaplot...either as a mentor or as a friend...or, as in Morgan's case, both.) Peace & Light (and tons and tons of writing ahead!) [/QUOTE]
