Need a Quick NPC? Keep reading!
When your Players are starting to get bored, you need some bad guys & quick! This is how I do it.
For Hit Points (HP) I Roll a 12-sided dice and multiply X 10. This will determine how big the NPC is. Then I roll a 20-sided to see what the Creature Save (CSV) is (the lower the better for the NPC). Now let's say I roll a 10 on the d12 (100 HP) & a 5 on the d20 (5 Creature Save), and the (CSV) is all in one simple number, from the creatures spell attempts to the creature avoiding the Player's traps, Spells, etc.
As far as Armor Class goes for the NPC's, I like to roll a d6 (even a d10 or a d12, in some cases) & either plus or minus it on the highest Player's Armor Class! This should give you enough randomness to make your game run smoother. To make an easier game, don't have anymore enemies than you have Players.
Ogs are early humanoid creatures that stand as tall as seven feet. Males have tusks & females don't. They're vulgar & primitive omnivorous, and they usually don't eat other humanoids, but they will protect their territory. Certain tribes have been know to be carnivorous. They're not known for casting spells, but there have been exceptions.
Usually has 80HP / (10 CSV) / 14 + 1d6 AC / 1d10 TH 1d10 + DMG (TH = DMG)
Goblins are known ambushers! They stand about 4 feet tall, and they're sneaky and almost always get the initiative. Some are able to cast 1st LVL Spells, and they can make & repair crude weapons & armor. They aren't that strong, so that makes them good for beginning Players. I like to roll a d20 for the number in a tribe or family. They can be found anywhere.
Usually has 1d20 +5 HP / (12 CSV) / 9 + 1d10 AC / 1d4 TH 1d6 + DMG (TH = DMG)
Dursh are savage creatures that are about 6 foot tall. When the Fayvin was created on Earth, the Dursh were manifested, and soon after their arrival they became ruthless. Their 'Saliva' is highly poisonous. They're too crazy to work together, so a Dursh is usually always alone.
Usually has 100HP / (12 CSV) / 9 + 1d10 AC / 2d6 TH / 1d8 + DMG / Bite 1d12 Must (CON SV) or be Knocked Out for 3 RNDS & if not healed within 3 days = Death (TH = DMG)
Nissins are special. They don't get any Stats! They're normally only 6 inches tall. A Nissin can 'Stop Time' and cast Any Spell! They are also incorruptible, thank goodness. They're forest & woodland beings, and they don't get involved much, unless it benefits themselves or nature, and they often work for Fairy Princesses. They can come in & out of the Fayvin at will. Some believe that a Nissin is a 'Highly Evolved' Fairy. Nissins are the DM's little helpers! They can disenchant just about anything. 'Nissin advice' is not always 'Sage advice'.
