In this thread I will post NPCs much like those from the Game Mastery Guide’s NPC Gallery. Not all of the NPCs I post will be human, unlike those in the GMG, because I like the other races as well and certain NPC concepts come to me in the form of a dwarf or elf (for example) rather than a generic human. I will stick primarily to core races but I may use the Bestiary races from time to time. I will only use material from the PRD.
I will not post descriptions or “fluff” or boons to go along with the NPCs, because that takes time. I’d rather spend that time writing stats for another NPC, which is ultimately more useful for myself and other GMs.
Regarding alignments, all NPCs will be listed with a Neutral alignment except when a class requires a specific alignment. GMs should of course adjust alignments (and whatever else they feel like) to fit their campaigns.
I will take requests for NPCs if you’re looking for something in particular. Feel free to be as specific (or vague) as you like in your requests.
Feel free to share, cross-post, tinker, and so forth. I claim no ownership of any of these NPCs. Credit or a link to this thread is appreciated but unnecessary. I hope that you find opportunities to use these NPCs in your own games.
Here is a Google Doc of all NPCs I’ve posted, in alphabetical order. This document will include the most updated versions of the NPCs, though I’ll generally only update them if I made errors in the original stats. Please point out any errors you may find.
Thanks to Epic Meepo for inspiring me to create this thread with his “Epic Meepo Presents” series.
Enjoy!
