Many higher level nobles would be interesting, multiclassed with fighter, wizards, etc. (I will probably add a few later).--------------------------------------------------------------------------#14 - GENTRY (GENERIC)Aristocrat 3rd level; DMGThis is your typical upper class NPC, born and raised in wealth, like a lord's wife, a rich merchant, etc. Such person got a really good and broad education, including weapon use. These aristocrats are not warrior types and prefer to leave combat to others, but nonetheless learned how to wield a sword and move in armor, as part of the many things a gentleman / gentlewoman should be able to do. Alignment: Varies.Generic Gentry: Human, Aristocrat 3rd-lvl.Combat: AC= 10 (touch 10, flat-footed 10); Hit-points: 14; Initiative: +0; Speed: 30 ft.; BAB +2, Grap +2; Atk: melee +2 (1d4, 19-20/x2, dagger), melee +2 (1d6, 19-20/x2, shortsword), ranged +2 (1d8, 19-20/x2, light crossbow).Saves: Fort +1, Ref +1, Will +6.Abilities: Str 10 (+0), Dex 11 (+0), Con 11 (+0), Int 14 (+2), Wis 13 (+1), Cha 16 (+3).Racial Traits: Human: bonus feat and skills points (counted below)Skills: Appraise +6, Diplomacy +16, Intimidate +7, Knowledge (local) +8, Knowledge (nobility - royalty) +8, Listen +4, Perform (musical instrument) +7, Ride +4, and Sense motive +7.Feats and Powers: (bonuses counted above) Iron will, Negotiator, Skill focus (Diplomacy).Equipment: Fine clothing, dagger, jewelry and money, manor house, horses, etc.Note: Gentry rarely wear any armor and weapons (except for a dagger), but when obliged to do so, may prefer a chain shirt (AC 14), and a shortsword and crossbow. No magical equipment included, which can vary, so left at DM's discretion (typically a couple of potions, a +1 dagger, and a ring of protection +1).--------------------------------------------------------------------------#15 - INCOMPETENT FOPAristocrat 1st level; DMGThis is the most worthless and incompetent type of fop, born in silk, and who never had anything to do to make a living or assure his own protection. If he was left to fend for himself, this character would probably not survive for longer than a couple of days. Fortunately, he has a protector who has taken care of him for all his life, so he still there and healthy, even if a whimp. Such character tends to be aggravating a lot, pretentious, etc. Only his protector seems to tolerate (or maybe even like) him. The fop could be the protector's lover, the bastard son of a prince, the only heir to the imperial throne, etc.Alignment: Varies.Generic Gentry: Human, Aristocrat 1st-lvl.Combat: AC= 10 (touch 10, flat-footed 10); Hit-points: 3; Initiative: –1; Speed: 30 ft.; BAB +0, Grap –1; Atk: melee –1 (1d4–1, 19-20/x2, dagger), ranged –1 (1d8, 19-20/x2, light crossbow).Saves: Fort –1, Ref –1, Will +2.Abilities: Str 9 (–1), Dex 8 (–1), Con 9 (–1), Int 12 (+1), Wis 10 (+0), Cha 13 (+1).Racial Traits: Human: bonus feat and skills points (counted below)Skills: Bluff +5, Diplomacy +5, Intimidate +3, Knowledge (local) +4, Knowledge (nobility - royalty) +4, Listen +4, Perform (musical instrument) +5.Feats and Powers: Influential protector*, Fools' luck*Equipment: Fine clothing, dagger, fancy jewelry (Appraise check at DC = 5, it looks like it is worth 1500 gp.; but at DC = 20 it reveals that it's false and not worth more than 10 gp.).Note: (*) new feats for this NPC only. Influential Protector: +4 bonus to bluff checks to convince others it's better to not attack him, or his powerful protector would avenge him otherwise. Fools' Luck : once per day whenever the npc's life is in jeopardy, something happens that will take him out of danger.--------------------------------------------------------------------------</blockquote>
