Create an NPC

Create non-player characters for your campaigns and modules.

Steps

NPCs are created from the campaign dashboard:

1. Open your campaign dashboard
2. Go to the NPCs tab
3. Click Create NPC

NPC Creation

NPC creation is simplified — only a name is required. Optional fields can be filled in during creation or edited later:

1. Enter the NPC Name (required)
2. Optionally fill in:
   • Race — The NPC’s race
   • Role — Their function in the story (e.g., shopkeeper, quest giver, villain)
   • Location — Where the party finds them
   • Faction — Organization or group affiliation
3. Click Create

Assigning NPCs

NPCs can be assigned to:

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

NPC vs Monster

Type	Use Case
NPC	Named characters with personality
Monster	Combat encounters, unnamed enemies

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
