[QUOTE="Berandor, post: 45757, member: 225"] Hi! As I am working on a possible D20 supplement right now, I'd like to know your opinion on NPC stats. How should they be given to you? The stats will be mostly for DMs, btw. Do you need a complete stat block? Do you even want ability scores? The stats that I think of using now contain the characters name and title, and then in brackets (sex race class level). Furthermore, some notes towards interests and dislikes, and towards strengths and weaknesses, as well as alignment (probably; alignment is not so sure as of now). Would that be enough for you? Would that give the DM enough freedom? ------- Sample NPC: [i] Godzilla[/i], Trasher of Tokyo (female Kaiju Fighter 6/Ranger 2) Strengths: Smashing buildings, shooting lightning or flames from his mouth. Weaknesses: Rubber suit, electrical power plants Interests: Swimming, killing, battling other Kaiju Dislikes: King Kong, stepping on his tail Alignment: CN History: Godzilla was spawned by a crazed japanese filmmaker, and has shown to possess near total immortality, resurfacing from sure defeat every couple of years. Recently, he has even traveled abroad to star in a silly American action movie, together with her talented children. However, success in the US did not come as hoped, and Godzilla went back to Japan to star in Godzilla 2000. Despite having better and more fish in Hollywood, only Japanese know to treat the rubber Giant as she deserves. ------- Would that be fine with you? Berandor [/QUOTE]
