[QUOTE="ExploderWizard, post: 6592139, member: 66434"] Primarily, a good physical description that is interesting in some way, a personality complete with a few unique quirks, and a connection to some generic setting element such as a guild, army, cabal, etc. . As far as stats go perhaps some ability scores from which traits can drawn, but other than that none are needed. I like the way Flying Buffalo did NPCs in their citybook series. Interesting characters with a notion about general fighting and/or magic using ability level that could be translated into stats from numerous game systems. If you had a whole slew of these, combined with generic focused stat templates in a different section ( fighter stats for various competency levels & styles, a selection of arcane and divine caster templates at various levels and so forth it could be really useful because the two sections could be mixed & matched as the DM requires. For example, Alexander Trollslayer a gruff and tough dwarf with a heart of gold and a fighting rating of exceptional could be paired with a variety of fighter stats depending on the level desired.
