Chapter 5: NPC Gallery / Using the NPC Gallery

Customizing NPCs

Source Gamemastery Guide pg. 203
The NPCs in this gallery are all humans with no languages besides Common. In some cases, such as human-centric Taldor where Common is the official language, you can most likely use the NPCs in this section as written. But more often, you'll need to make minor adjustments to the details to portray a particular NPC. Since these stat blocks present the most basic possible version for each character, you shouldn't need to remove any statistics or abilities unless your NPC can't speak Common.

The next few sections provide guidelines and ancestry adjustments you can use to quickly customize a default NPC.

Organization and Deity Templates

In addition to the templates in this book, the Pathfinder Lost Omens Character Guide presents theme templates to quickly and easily make these NPCs members of various organizations. If you're looking for adherents of a specific deity, Pathfinder Lost Omens Gods & Magic offers a theme template that allows you to customize an NPC to fit any deity, or a deity of your own creation!
