Excerpt: Fallcrest

[Fallen Seraph]

Welcome! I am your Real Estate Broker, Fallen Seraph. Today I have a wonderful town to show you in the DMG district. It is called Fallcrest

 

[Rechan]

Rituals Wednesday.

Tiefling has Fire Res 9. Hmm.

I also notice that the Tief isn't built very exception-based. Looks like standard rogue stuff. Except for having one at-will.

 

[Fallen Seraph]

Mhmm, if this doesn't prove once and for all that NPCs can be built using PC rules, nothing will.

I wonder how many NPCs will be like this in the DMG.

I don't think they've ever said they can't be.

It's more that they don't have to be.

Tiefling has Fire Res 9. Hmm.

The NPC is 8th level so perhaps Tieflings get Fire Res of 5 + 1/2 level?

Bingo. I think it's been said that if you WANT to, you CAN.

As an unrelated note, it looks like Infernal Wrath is +1 to hit, +Charisma to damage.

I find it interesting that they gave a shopkeeper a full statblock. I guess it would make sense if the PCs were on an escort/caravan bodyguard mission given the nature of Orest's business, but it just seems a bit of overkill.

Yes, but there are still people who have asked if you still can.

 

[small pumpkin man]

Rituals Wednesday.

Tiefling has Fire Res 9. Hmm.

Specifically Fire Resist 5 + half level.

I also liked seeing what looks like an NPC based off a PC class.
