It has happened to all Game Masters at least once. Hours are spent preparing the perfect match, players are bloodthirsty, swords are drawn, and then you realize you have forgotten to create stats for enemy characters. Or maybe players go left when they were expected to go right, leaving the GM with no prepared matches. Such problems are a thing of the past with the NPC Code. This manual features hundreds of ready-made stat blocks for non-player characters of all levels, from the humble wood poacher to the most majestic knight or ancient charmer. Whether they are planning future adventures or arranging meetings on the fly right at the game table, this book allows GMs to focus only on managing the game. The NPC Code is an indispensable companion of the Pathfinder RPG Game Manual and Pathfinder RPG Bestiary. Built on a 10-year-tested system and developed by a team of the industry's most creative and influential minds and over 50,000 players, Pathfinder will give you the absolute best gaming experience possible and take the game itself to a new era. The Pathfinder RPG NPC Code contains: - Statistics of more than 300 characters, including at least one character per level of each class in the Game Manual. - Tactical tips for each character, ensuring that you get the most out of each person's equipment and skills in combat. - Lots of interesting names and backgrounds to give characters personality, along with ideas for their use in combat and non-combat situations. - Stats of characters with less powerful NPC classes to help populate the world with ordinary people, as well as characters with specialized prestige classes. - Animal companion stats for druids and rangers, from 1st to 20th level. - Multiple versions of each iconic Pathfinder character, perfect as pre-generated player characters. - Groups for meetings useful to be employed to manage impromptu battles. - And so much more!.
