Generic NPCs

[Locnil]

Forgot to ask - are these compiled anywhere? Preferably, with an index and links?

[Sanctaphrax]

There's no complete index.

But I've got the first 214 NPCs from this thread in a folder on my computer, which I can share with you if you have Dropbox.

Also, the wiki has 91 NPCs. All of them are in my folder, though.

I've been rather lazy when it comes to the wiki, because my collaborators haven't been around. The Mighty Buzzard seems to be coming back, though, so maybe that'll change soon.

[Locnil]

I'll see about getting it now. Also, looks like I forgot all about John Taylor... arglebargle.

Edit: Right, got it. Now how do I get the file?

[Sanctaphrax]

Tell me the name your Dropbox account is in, and I'll try to share the folder with you.

Never done this before, but I think it'll work.

[Locnil]

Try [Censored].

[Sanctaphrax]

Okay, I tried. Let's see if it works.

Another experiment, to try out something I just discovered: does this link work?

If so, maybe you didn't need Dropbox after all. Sorry if getting it turns out to have been an unnecessary hassle.

[Locnil]

Yup, the link worked. Thanks!

[Sanctaphrax]

You're very welcome.

[HumAnnoyd]

Very cool.  I just downloaded that too.  Thanks!!!  Your NPCs have been very useful when I run my games.  Having an easy access list is a wonderful thing indeed.

[Sanctaphrax]

You're welcome and thank you.

How would you model a boogeyman ala Terry Pratchet?  I imagine the Walking Corpse power, Incite Fear, Cloak of Shadows and maybe Supernatural Recovery with a Catch of children's blankets...I'd kind of like to see a build though.

[Sanctaphrax]

I don't know much about Discworld bogeymen...going by your description and a glance at Wikipedia:

They don't have Spirit Form?

Actually, now that I think about it, that's definitely a good choice. Good on you.

I think you mis-valued that Catch, though. Research would reveal that weakness, and any Wizard can make ghost dust.

PS: Is the second ghost supposed to be Feet In The Water? If so, shouldn't it have another 2 skill points?

Yeah, these are "solidified" ghosts - based on the Spectre in OW, just with better powers, since two Inhumans isn't really enough for the "ancient spirits".

Hmm, good point. I put +0 because the OW Spectre has it as +0, but yeah, it ought to be at least +1.

PS: Is the second ghost supposed to be Feet In The Water? If so, shouldn't it have another 2 skill points?

Yes, oops.
