Easily customize NPCs for flavor Art by
John-Paul Balmet
• See Chapter 9 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide to
apply the racial traits to your NPCs, and the
Monster Manual for those traits’ descriptions.
o For example, an outland veteran can be
used as a human tribal warrior, or orc
plunderer.
o If you want to be more careful in
preserving the challenge rating of the
NPC, you can consider the ability
modifier to be minimum requirements
rather than alterations to the stats. For
example, an ability modifier of +2
Dexterity can also mean the NPC you
select should have a minimum Dexterity
of 12.

• Other attributes can be applied which do not
affect Challenge Rating, such as proficiency in a
skill.

• None of the NPCs in this document teeter on the
edge of being of a higher or lower Challenge
rating, so minor alterations, even ones such as a
+1 to a primary ability score, likely will not make
a statistically significant difference in Challenge
Rating, though you still might notice a difference
in combat effectiveness in such cases.

• Other than that, the NPC statblocks have been
left intentionally ‘vanilla’ so they can fulfill any
number of roles.
