[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 4598497, member: 12731"] I'm converting an old-edition adventure, and I have a problem. The MM covers next to nothing regarding "ordinary citizens". And before you start to object, no, I'm not thinking of the farmers and bakers, small boys and Old Auntie now. Running them as Human Rabble will do perfectly*. No, I'm talking about "Authority Figures". People described in words such as the ruling Baron is "an Aristocrat level 7". The captain of the guard could be "a Fighter of level 5". The town elderman might be listed as "a Cleric of level 9". [B]Where can I find a resource with generic NPCs statted up like this?[/B] Stats need only to cover the heroic tier; few adventures contain "generic" NPCs of higher level than around 10. Thanks, Zapp PS. Yes, I know I have everything I need in the DMG. No, I don't want to do all the math myself - that's precisely why I'm asking! And yes, it probably was a good use of the available space not to add in pages and pages of NPC stats. That still leaves my question hanging, though! :-) So far, I've used the few MM entries there are as baselines, but I'm getting sick and tired of Halfling Slingers and Human Guards by now...
