Voice & Manner
How they talk. Cadence, vocabulary, what they do with silence. Two or three sentences you can actually perform.
“One line in their voice — the one you'd say first if the party walked in right now.”
What They Want
- The thing they will say out loud.
- The thing they will not.
- What they settle for when both are denied.
Behind the screen
What is true that they will not say. What the party can earn from them, and what it costs. If they have a turn — a point where they flip, break, or reveal — put it here.
In a Fight
Whether they want one at all, and what they do instead if they don't. Reskin an existing 2014 MM creature at the right CR — same statline, at most one or two clearly-labelled house tweaks. Do not invent a block.
NPC Name
Size type, alignment · reskinned <MM creature> (MM, CR —)
As written. The statblock's own features, unchanged.
House tweak — Name. The one thing you changed, and why it fits the reskin.
