Collection: Ultimate NPCs

Ultimate NPCs is a series of 5E D&D sourcebooks filled with ready-to-use characters for your tabletop campaigns, compatible with the 2014 and 2024 rules.

What's in Each Book

Every volume holds 30 finely crafted NPCs, each statted out at levels 1, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20, producing 180 unique characters. Each one comes with a backstory, personality traits, and roleplaying cues, so you get a person rather than a stat block.

The characters are divided into three sections by alignment, ten good, ten neutral, and ten evil, and each section opens with the guilds and factions those characters belong to. That gives you the organization standing behind the person, so a single NPC can pull an entire faction into your campaign. Unique magic items and spells appear throughout.

Why Six Levels Matters

Because every character is statted at six points across their career, the same person can recur as your party grows. The sergeant who trained them at level one can return as a commander at level sixteen, and the pickpocket they caught early can resurface as a crime lord, without you rebuilding anything.

The Volumes

Warfare

Soldiers, auxiliaries, and noncombatants, from high command to the cook's tent. Available as a hardcover, an instant-download PDF, or a bundle of both.

Skulduggery

Rogues, thieves, assassins, and mercenaries occupying the seedy tap-houses and criminal underbelly of civilization. The print run is sold out, so this one is available as an instant-download PDF.

Free previews of both books are available if you want to see the format before buying. Run these characters as allies, patrons, and villains, or hand one to a player as a ready-made character.
