This file contains the rough idea that I've had for NPCs over the past year or so. Some are more fleshed out than others, but all are still pretty much, well, rough. Some ideas need more work than others, but if they're here, I haven't used them in my game (didn't get the chance): so my former players haven't seen any of these yet:) Well, happy hunting!
