[QUOTE="Connorsrpg, post: 5841778, member: 19265"] Not sure I would run that DM NPC Healer for them though - might only encourage them to get into more trouble...and think that you will get them out of it? Just do something simple like letting them spend an Action Point to heal a surge instead of taking extra action if you feel they need a little more in combat. Obviously use more minions too ;) My website also has stacks of GM Aids if you are interested - especially if you love rolling lots of random things/ideas. I have: 1. Encounters (split into creatures, events and places; Note: you come up witht he type of creature accoring to where you are - I do a separate encounter chart with the actual monsters - my charts are before that stage). 2. Businesses and Buildings: great for random city quarters, businesses or even an NPC's profession. 3. NPC generation charts (inc how to get one quick 'quirk/hook'). 4. Massive Realms Creation docs for creating a feel for anything from a Goblin Tribe, to a Forest, to a town or even full blown Empire. (I have even used it for a Train and its inhabitants). Note: All of the above have many charts in them that you can cherry-pick from, and the entries are not just my ideas - they are mostly a collection of ideas I have gathered from the many editions of DnD, inc page or magazine references.
