[QUOTE="Connorsrpg, post: 5849066, member: 19265"] I really like this idea (but worried with repeated creatures as stated). Humanoids for eg could use any NPC creation doc/ideas, but for creatures like the gelatinous cube you did, fantastic. I like the optional mechanics part too. In fact, it would be a great replacement for having several stat blocks for each creature and that would actually SAVE space. eg: Orc has bow (one line with stats, instead of whole orc archer stat block - same with the berserk, etc). Just as a note I DO all this myself, from my NPC and Encounter charts. A cool fight in the Red Hand campaign had one of the hobgoblins wearing a silk orange scarf (that he obviously took from his last victim and was parading before his fellows in mocking fashion). I am sorry, but I simply could not come up with this off the top of my head...but a few rolls and each hobgob had a distinctive trait, from bald with ponytail at the back to missing tusk, etc. For those not wanting one for every creature, but seeking variety in Encounters and NPCs I have attached both docs. (Disclaimer: Many of these charts reference other sources and books. These are more of a collation of others' ideas with additions). Also included the People & Populations Doc from my Realms creation docs, as there are cultural variations on there too. That is how you may encounter orcs with different weaponry, like glaives and katanas?
