[QUOTE="HellHound, post: 2283206, member: 3397"] I love this thread! Going back to the NPCs, I have a wonderful trick. Now, the truth is that I published what I'm about to rave about, so if you want to take this with a grain of salt, go for it... but the reason I published it is because I found it SO useful in game. [size=10][url=http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=313&products_id=324&src=EnWorld]Everyone Else[/url][/size] Everyone Else is a book of standard NPCs. It covers over 80 NPC professions, each at 4 different experience levels, with a full stat block for each. (So over 320 stat blocks) The authors gave me this material almost about four months before we published it. I printed out a copy, and tucked it into my notebook. Well, that notebook is no more, but that copy of everyone else is still here, dog-eared and tattered, with lots of little notatios in pencil all over it. I used that puppy nearly to death. That's why we published it. It is an incredible resource that makes interacting with NPCs in town very simple, without having to just fake their stats on the fly (not that this is a bad thing, I just like having complete stats). It's like that old remington ad... I liked it so much, I published it! [/QUOTE]
