We then compare that number against a difficulty check (DC) number.Īs a result, almost all player interactions with a NPC just need that DC. Fast and Easy D&D 5e NPCs: Difficulty Checks (DC)ĭ&D 5e is a lot of rolling a die and adding a modifier. Most of the time an interesting accent by the DM is all that is needed, but we do have two quick and easy options for both difficulty checks and simple combat. We’ll cover difficulty checks (DC) first. In fact, we have a table where you can just roll 2d10 to create a NPC with memorable mannerisms. We need that quirky bartender to be memorable, not stat heavy. Most of the time NPCs aren’t getting into a scrap to the point that they need hit points or an attack bonus. Hit points and armor class is important at the table, but we fortunately have the Monster Manual for that.īut NPCs typically don’t need all that crunch. Monsters in D&D have quite a bit of crunch to them which is necessary. But the reality is that most NPCs never even draw a sword, yet hours of time was spent fiddling with their stat blocks! It’s fun to imagine character backstories and mannerisms, then stat them out, creating a full formed NPC. Dungeon Masters spend a lot of time making D&D 5e NPCs.
