Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mighty Halfling" data-source="post: 1720435" data-attributes="member: 13134">Hi there,I have been considering  publishing a pdf that presents a wide variety of D&D NPCs. While I have only just begun to formulate the idea, I'd love to hear your input on the matter.Here's my basic plan: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Each character would have his own head-to-toe portrait. A subsection of the pdf would have portraits without any text.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Each character would be fleshed out at 3 different CRs. Probably 6, 13 and 20.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Each CR level would include plot hooks. So you can map out the NPCs plans.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Each NPC would have Combat Tactics.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">An appendix on each character would include all my "work" on the character so you see his progression.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Each NPC would have a basic back history and motivations. This would not be world-specific material.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The publication would only include stuff from the Core Rulebooks -- no secondary publisher items.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Not sure of this, but I may include a few new feats, magic items and spells.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Aside from the main illustrated PCs, I'd build a bunch of standard NPCs. Maybe six per CR level at 3, 6, 13 and 20.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Aside from standard humanoids, I would include leveled monsters in the bunch. These guys also would be illustrated.</li> </ul>So, Here are my questions to you:1) Without giving you a price, would you be willing to buy something like this? 2) If I included 15 fleshed out NPCs and 36 "generic" types, what price would you pay?3) What part of this do you think would be worthless?4) What part of this would be especially valuable?5) What would you like to see that I haven't included?6) Should I focus only on enemies? 7) Do you want to see new feats?8) Should I include prestige classes from DMG?9) Should I make new prestige classes?10) Should I make new monsters?11) Do you want to see new magic items?12) Should I support this among several game systems? (d20, Action!, d6, etc.)12) Any other comments?</blockquote>
