So, did anyone stat out Ameiko & Friends for chapter 6?

[Krathanos]

I'm sorry if I missed it, but late in Jade Regent it is said that the GM should come up with some stats for Ameiko and the other important NPCs. Being a lazy bastard, I wonder if someone did this and posted it here.

You lazy bastard.

But since you asked, yeah I could probably do with those as well. ;-P

[Benrislove]

doesn't look like it, I'll mess around with herolab later, I know the base versions are in there if it's not a ton of work i'll advance them up some levels :D

[Zamtap]

i too am lazy, i've handed the npc's out to act as cohorts for the players to stat up as we go along.

[Chernobyl]

I'm in book 3, and I've begun statting them up as we go along. too many wandering monster chances not to have them available in book 3.

[nomadicc]

I've been keeping them on pace with the party, about a level or two behind. I'll post the stat blocks later today, if I remember.

The biggest shortfall, honestly, is their lack of "level appropriate" gear. My party isn't very gifting, so their weapons and armor lag well behind now. They aren't the focus, so I don't mind, but it IS a factor if you consider them for encounter balancing.

[The NPC]

I have set them at three levels behind the PC and GNPC as book three suggests. One thing I did do was exchange Ameiko's levels of Aristocrat for additional levels of bard.

[Sapient]

Digging up this very old thread to ask if anyone has leveled up NPCs for the final book they are willing to share.

[Mathmuse]

I leveled up Ameiko (and her half-sister Amaya, but that is another thread). I dropped her level of aristocrat and switched her bard levels to the Varisian thundercaller archetype.

Marking fo refeence. Would be cool to have a party where Ameiko and friends ARE the PCs, as briefly mentioned but only slightly fleshed out in the Jade Regent Player's Guide.

[captain yesterday]

I'm pretty sure your average player can come up with more interesting characters then Ameiko and company. :-)

[UnArcaneElection]

I wouldn't want to force this on anybody, but some people might be able to make that group of 4 characters interesting and enjoy doing it. Have to figure out a way to get over the problem of a 60 year old 1st level character, though . . . .

Who, Koya? She starts at level 4. You can scale the NPCs back to level 1 if you want, but you certainly don't have to, especially if a player takes one of them over mid-campaign.

[UnArcaneElection]

I guess you could start them out at level >1, but you would have to adjust encounters to compensate, until the NPCs converted into PCs advanced to their level of incompetence.

Actually, this also applies to Shalelu, being an Elf, but we all know that Elven youth squander much of their extended early years playing World of WarCraft . . . .

[Xelmx]

We treat NPCs like 1 lvl lower than player characters, and normally we use them only for specific skills or abilities. It's too much trouble to generate full stats everytime I guess...
