Category:Non-Player Characters

During the adventure, you have found instructions to create a variety of encounters using the NPCs found in this appendix.

These encounters are classified as easy, normal, hard, and very hard. These keywords determine how many NPCs you should use to create the encounters.

First off, add together the levels of the group of PCs playing the adventure (the pre-gen characters are all level 1, so the sum should equal the number of players in the game).

Then consider the difficulty of the encounter. An easy encounter has NPCs whose added level is one lower than the added level of the PC group, a regular encounter has the same level, a hard encounter has NPCs whose added level exceeds the added level of the group of PCs by one, and a very hard encounter exceeds the added level of the PCs by two.
