Hello all.
Our group is about to embark upon a city adventure and I am trying to think about the most efficient way to create a number of stat block NPCs to populate the town. For starters we will need about 25 of them.
I suppose I could go through the NPC button, filter for humanoid and CR level and make them one at a time as needed. But they are read only so I cannot edit for names or other interesting tweaks or perks
I could make 25 PC characters to add or take away from the party. This is a little appealing however it would fill up the Character selection area with numerous unwanted toons while I search for the one I need. I guess that is a small price to pay but a little time consuming.
I could use the nifty Engineer suite which I was supporting via patreon. Does anyone have experience creating a raft of NPCs and populating a module with it ?
Does anyone know of a module or faster way to generate them ? I would consider paying for such a project.
Ideally I'd like to have an open module, click a button and have a stat block I can unlock and edit ready. Does such a thing exist ?
How would you go about creating numerous NPCs many of whom will be for 1 use only ?
Thanks so much in advance
ps I hope that is clear enough. Sometimes trying to write something down is not as easy as talking about it
