Re: If you were a fantasy land NPC what kind of npc would you like to be?
I guess it depends on how ambitious you are. Aprendices looking for an easy way to power often end up evil even if they didn't plan to.

Re: If you were a fantasy land NPC what kind of npc would you like to be?
In the novel A Darker Shade of Magic, and it's sequels by Victoria E. Schwab
Kell is one of the last Antari—magicians with a rare, coveted ability to travel between parallel Londons; Red, Grey, White, and, once upon a time, Black
Each "London" is in a different world (and two of them have a nearly identical tavern/Inn), and the worlds are distinct.
"Grey" London is in what's presumably the 19th century of our real world and it smells of smoke, "Red" London is a bright shining world filled with magic and it smells of flowers, "White" London also has magic, but it's a grim world that smells of blood, and "Black" London no longer has human life.
This ability to travel to different world's, some wondrous, others less so, almost instantly, really intrigues me, I suppose the D&D "Planeshift" ability is similar, so I'm nodding for that.

Re: If you were a fantasy land NPC what kind of npc would you like to be?
Knowing my luck, I'd be the guard the adventurers(hopefully) knock out on their way to the BBEG's lair :P
Preferably, though, I'd be the innkeeper. Noones ever killed an innkeeper in any campaign I've seen... yet.Last edited by Kallor; 2018-03-15 at 06:19 PM.

The all-knowing mysterious oracle on some remote, hard-to-reach island/mountaintop/plane who'll answer some questions in exchange for tribute but otherwise doesn't interfere with the plot. Who also may or may not be a dragon or some other powerful immortal. Barring that, a college mage.
Realistically, though? I'd probably end up as some peasant farmer.

i dunno, probably the town drunk/madman, stumbling around in a stupor, occasionally screaming warnings at people. shouting my mad ravings and terrible prophecies to the sky! and drinking, to dull the horrible visions of a unholy future!

Re: If you were a fantasy land NPC what kind of npc would you like to be?
I'd like to be the mysterious NPC that sits in the dark corner of every tavern.
A father taken by time, a brother dead by my own hand.
With this work behold my grief, in Stone and shifting sand.

Re: If you were a fantasy land NPC what kind of npc would you like to be?
Aristocrat. No debate. I would be born into wealth, live my life with wealth and influence, be able to afford all the best health care for me and my family, good schools for my son. I'd study whatever field I wished to know, because I could just bring in a sage to teach me. My spouse would be free to pursue her passions and ambitions because I'd never have to say, "it's not in the budget" ever again.
Heck, I might even pass some legislation now and again... do my area of influence some good.PbP Junk and Stuff:

Re: If you were a fantasy land NPC what kind of npc would you like to be?
I have to go with the mostly-retired sea captain, who has an easy smile and a ~mysterious past.~ Is she an ex-pirate? A bronze dragon in disguise? A randomly-rolled collection of stats that the party is reading way too much into? Who knows?? Definitely not the PCs!

"The last man on Earth sat alone in a room. There was a knock at the door."
I want more Strong female characters.
"In place of a Dark Lord, you would have a queen! Not dark, but beautiful and terrible as the dawn! Treacherous as the sea! Stronger than the foundations of the earth! All shall love me, and despair!"

I'd be an architect that specializes in rebuilding taverns. Those PCs are always wrecking the joint. I'd be rich!

The kind that actually ends up attacking the PCs at the end of the quest like a Werewolf Blacksmith or something

Re: If you were a fantasy land NPC what kind of npc would you like to be?
I'd have to go with the tower wizard hermit. It seems like a career with a reasonable degree of safety, and for a nominal hermitage there's inevitably a great deal of social interaction, which suits me fine.
I would really like to see a game made by Obryn, Kurald Galain, and Knaight from these forums.
I'm not joking one bit. I would buy the hell out of that. -- ChubbyRain

Re: If you were a fantasy land NPC what kind of npc would you like to be?
Personally I think being some sort of arcane biologist would be interesting, especially with all the strange creatures that exist in different fantasy worlds. In fact, I think that's what I'll have my D&D character become if they make it to the end of the campaign and retire. Would definitely focus my research on the creatures of the various plains... more so if I got an awesome airship or something... kinda like Spelljamer from 2nd ed D&D.

I'm the guy who repeatedly says "I heard a rumor monsters are returning," then I get killed when the evil empire destroys the protagonist's/protagonists' home town in the first act.
