Message: <blockquote data-quote="RangerWickett" data-source="post: 2980781" data-attributes="member: 63">Oh, and some of these ideas are great. I might pass on the baby beholder (I'm trying to limit things to ECL 4), and I'm not quite sure a 40th level flumph is what I was shooting for, but the line about the gnoll archer being able to throw apples is just inspired. Nothing quite like taking a tasty bite out of a projectile weapon just before you throw it.I also rather like the cantankerous raven familiar. It will be nice to show that townsfolk have died over the years (actually, instead of Jehan, I did plan for a halfling woman named Jeima to be the young PCs' first exposure to death). Likewise, an 'elderly' cat is nice, simply because cats age faster than people. However, I can't use it, because of another cat gimmick I have in mind for later.I'll have to use the comb-sharing twins, and an ogre henchman for Pedimmu will be useful in case tensions flare later. The others I might combine into groups of friends from different age groups. This reminds me, I need to come up with people the same age as the PCs, to have been their 'classmates.' Artep and Lajeca have a half-elf daughter named Eshedual, but she's the only child of the founders, and she's low on common sense, so the whole town feels a little responsible for keeping her safe. Pedimmu is married to a girl named Itana, sixteen years his junior.Other NPCs I've already come up with are:Yjtfub, a heroic gnome woman (think paladin, but more free-spirited) who will go out one day to help try to find a missing villager, not to return for nearly seven years. When she does return, her heroism is faded for she traveled far and saw horrible tragedy. If the PCs can help her regain her faith, she will be a powerful ally, and if they do not, she will be a warning of what lies beyond the safety of their homeland.Gale, a dark-skinned human woman who acts as the caretaker of the PCs when they're young. She's an everyday person, and can answer everyday questions.Etymos, a human boy, a year older than them, who starts a sort of gang and bullies them.Delica, a red-headed human girl who has mild psionic powers.Kaka, a forestkith goblin brawler who is disliked by most of the townsfolk except Lajeca. He's wild and crazy, like Stitch from Lilo & Stitch.Najess, a female naga, touch-feely. She's the town messenger, since she can’t carry anything but messages.</blockquote>
