NPC Creation

NPC creation is simplified — only a name is required:

1. Enter the NPC Name
2. Click Create

Additional details like race, class, role, and location can be edited after creation on the character detail view.

Assigning NPCs

NPCs can be assigned to:

• Campaign - Recurring characters across modules
• Module - Location-specific NPCs

NPC vs Monster

Use NPCs for important characters the party interacts with socially.

Tips

• Create NPCs during prep, not at the table
• Keep descriptions brief but memorable
• Include one distinctive trait or quirk
• Link to relevant plot threads in notes
