Generic NPCs

<< < (2/160) > >>

Sanctaphrax:
Well, there are two reasons for the refresh levels. The first is that I don't see any reason to restrict them to NPCs. People can play at whatever power level they like. The second, and more important, reason is that I was under the impression that NPCs get fate points just like PCs. Is that incorrect?

Alright, that's it for soldiers. Next post will have a pickpocket, a handyman, and a bodyguard.

deathwombat:
I still like it!

Sanctaphrax:
And I hope you continue to like it. If you have any contributions or requests, please don't hesitate to post them.

Assuming I don't get any requests, the plan is to put up nine On The Beach Pure Mortals (a thief, a samurai, a scientist, a cowboy, a musician, a chauffeur, a psychiatrist, a hoplite, and a mounted knight) next post and then move on to supernaturals. I'll probably start with Emissaries Of Power and move on to do the White Council and Paranet.

You may have noticed that the list of mortals to be done has increased in size. This is because, after posting, I came up with a number of ideas that I wanted to cover before moving past Pure Mortals.

Thanks for doing all of this.  When you're done, if it's cool, I'll print it off and keep it for insta-npcs.
