I am running HoDQ and I am beginning to see the need to create new NPC's that aren't in the original module.
I'm guessing it would be a encounter and there probably a video for it. If someone could point me in the right direction or post a link.
Thanks

Click the NPC button, right click the pane and create item. You then click on the <New Personality> and you can then enter the details of the NPC into that sheet and you will have your new NPC.

This is how to create an NPC Personality in the 5E ruleset:

It would just be created in the Campaign NPC tab rather than the official module. You can drag it into the official module tab to include it with that list but it would only be there in that specific campaign.

Based off a few posts recently it looks like you're stepping out away from the pre-built content. Nice to see! :)

Don't take this the wrong way, but a few of your recent questions have been pretty fundamental about FG data/campaign management, so it's probably a good time to look through the "Basic Guides" section of the Wiki: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/index.php/User_Guides and also go through some of the videos (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/index.php/Videos) - especially the "Tutorial Series" section by Xorn ("Campaign Entry Basics" is a good one to look at).

Still come back with questions... :)

Thanks for the responses, I started the videos by dulox oz and I will look at the ones by Xorn. I see that I phrased my question poorly, (it has been answered nonetheless) what I want to do is use the stats for a commoner from the Monster Manual and give it a name and token to baiscally make it a personality I don't have to reinvent all the time. Thanks for the help.
