[QUOTE="NewJeffCT, post: 4073443, member: 10784"] It depends on the NPC if I give them a "voice" or not. For a grizzled veteran warrior/town guard sergeant type, I might give them a scratchy, rough type of voice. For the rank & file town guardsmen, however, probably no special voice. If the NPC was going to play a major role, I would try to give him a memorable personality quirk - there is an old veteran warrior type in my current campain -(I even have the old Warhammer Mordheim mini painted up for it that is kind of bulky/portly, balding on top and with an eye patch). But, when he talks, it's kind of like he's lecturing the novice PCs, "I tell ya, them orcs ain't been down out of the mountains in years, something must be up, I tell ya!" I gave an Irish accent to a helpful faerie creature (brownie) in my current campaign, since I do a decent Irish accent, and if the PCs ever run into the boss of the evil cleric I had created, I was planning on giving him a very soft-spoken Southern accent. The players may be journeying to the land of Svimozhia in the near future (a large island in the Kingdoms of Kalamar setting) where the residents are typically brown & black skinned, and I was trying to come up with a standard accent to use for everybody there. My accent range is somewhat limited, however. [/QUOTE]
