Message: <blockquote data-quote="Turanil" data-source="post: 1737769" data-attributes="member: 9646">Well, here is the idea: lets create Various d20 / D&D 3.5 Everyday Life NPCs.The purpose of this thread is to create a stat-bloc document full of everyday life, common people of various sorts. This would help DMs to concentrate in creating villains and adventure, and spare the time devoted to create generic NPCs such as merchants, soldiers, thieves, local nobles, magistrates and the like.Many of you already know Everyone Else, a PDF with numerous stat-blocks of various sorts of commoners. However, this commercial product provides only generic characters of the five NPCs classes (adept, aristocrat, commoner, expert, and warrior), and usually of levels 1, 5, or 10. On the other hand, in this thread you may add NPCs of various "adventuring" classes (such as clerics for priests, rather than adepts; or fighters for soldiers instead of warriors), not just NPC classes. Furthermore, they can be of various levels. Nonetheless, keep in mind that this thread is not intended to provide with adventurers or exceptional characters, but people with mundane lives. As such, you could add a 5th level wizard for instance, but one who makes a living as a public writer or local fortune teller, and knows a few simple and utility spells, not an adventurer throwing fireballs. --Background: Keep it short and generic enough so DMs may read it in a glance and easily improvise upon it. Lengthy backgrounds tend to be an hindrance right in the middle of the game.--Classes: It would be best to restrict this thread to classes and prestige classes from the PHB, DMG, XPsi, as well as Unearthed Arcana, Complete series, Eberron, and Arcana Unearthed by Monte Cook. --Abilities: Common people should preferably have mundane ability score. The typical soldier probably has 14 in Strength and Constitution, and lower scores everywhere else. Of course you could have a NPC with 18 Strength and Consitution, but he must be special and unique, like the local strongman who is especially strong, but also dumb and clumsy. --Equipment: Keep it simple, and few magical items. Also don't include bonuses afforded by magical items directly into BAB, saves, etc., but put them in parenthesis. Once this document reaches 100 entries it will be turned into a PDF that will be made available for free to anyone on the Internet. Please respect the following format, to ease my job when I make a PDF of this thread. Note that if this thread has a great success, it needs not be limited to 100 entries, and could have many more!
