I have an idea for a short campaign that's a little like "quantum leap" where the party "jumps" into different NPC's each week. I thought it would be cool for them to play as Orc war party one week and dragons another.
Anyway. My workaround on this so far is to make the NPC friendly and then drop the token on the PC, enabling party movement and sight on the map... and it works, but is clunky. The players can open the NPC and see their stats/abilities, but it's awkward when you are grabbing the actual text "Cast fireball" and drag onto your target (when opening an NPC they don't get to see it like they do their own characters with easy to grab icons and such with attacks and spells).
I'd like to avoid spending time manually creating a PC out of an NPC which they can select on loading the campaign. But is there a way to make them able to select the NPC or at the very least see the attack options like the GM does on the combat tracker?
I'm assuming it would work like a pet, but instead of having the pet as an extra character on the CT instead it would only be the pet.
I've been playing around with it and since it's such an odd thing, difficult to find much info on how to do it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks and have a great day.
