[QUOTE="The Lemon Merchant, post: 400071, member: 2864"] Depends on the NPC, some are just cardboard cutouts, even my primary adversary sometimes and others I go into great detail. It really just depends on where my muse takes me. A good example of this is my current campaign most of the bad guys haven't leaped out at me as deserving development and so I just go through the motions with them. On the other hand I've spent over a week developing the quirks of a rather minor NPC, the parties butler, Gordon. His only significant role may be this week when he contacts the party (currently delving through the Tomb of Abysthor) and informs them that a new recruit is awaiting their inspection back at the compound (the party are the sole survivors of a mercenary company that was wiped out by the Great Hunt). After his bit part he may never be seen again but that hasn't stopped me from developing him. [/QUOTE]
