[QUOTE="A flannel shirt, post: 5668504, member: 90161"] It mostly depends on the situation. I try and be prepared for anything but I do use a few tricks. For a RPing stand point I love making NPCs for the group to interact with. I like to have my NPCs feel like they are important, but not to over shadow any player. It gives me a sense of accomplishment when the players have a connection to their NPCs friends and enemies. Josh Fredrich (whom we've been adventuring with for three sessions, we drank with him, we fought along side him, we crushed our enemies, saw them driven before us, and heard the lamentation of their women. ) was just found murdered in his home. He left a mysterious note that mentions and evil group out to kill him. etc etc. To me that adds excitement. It sure beats Josh a townsman just got killed, you need to investigate. Who is Josh and why do we care? As for stating them up, I tend to. But I also have a HUGE stack of already created characters. I never throw any of them away. So if we are in a situation where we run into a Paladin then I will find Paladin #21 from a few games back and do some quick mods and run with it. [/QUOTE]
