Appearance

Scale: You can increase each of these numbers and they relate to the x, y and z axis.

Statistics

Classes: This is were you can determine the class(es) of your NPC. To do so click with the Classes field so that it is highlighted and then click on the three dots ... to be able to amend the class as shown below:

First click on the Add button and you will see that the Barbarian class has been shown as above. Click on the Downward arrow under Misc/Class and here you will see a long list of classes to choose from. You can then choose the level of the class and if it is a multiclass NPC then just click on Add button again and go through the same steps above.

Gender: Can you choose from 5 different Gender types.

Subrace: Can you choose from a whole list of Subrace types.

Feats: Choose from a list of feats so that if your NPC is required to fight then choose the feats wisely to make the battle a little bit more interesting and of harder for the players. Click on the Feats field and then click on the three dots ... to be able to see the list as shown below:

Click on the feat that you want your NPC to have and then click on the Add button. Rinse and return to add more feats.

Natural AC: Increase this if you want your NPC to have a higher AC than the equipment it is wearing provides.

Current Hit Points: How many Hit Points your NPC currently has.

Base Hit Points: These are the number of Hit Points your NPC has derived from its base statistics.

Challenge Rating: This shows the average level of a party of adventurers for which one creature would make an encounter of moderate difficulty.

Damage Reduction: You can add different types of damage reduction from a list. To add a damage reduction type to our NPC, click in the Damage Reduction field and then click on the three dots ... to get a dialog box as shown below:

Click on the add button and then on the right hand pane you will see four options:Damage Amount, Piercings, Stacks, Uses or Logic

Damage Amount: How much damage do you want the reduction to be.

Piercings: Click on this field and you will have to click on the three dots ... and then click on the add button to get the follow screen:

Click on Piercing Type and you will be given 6 different types to choose from. The Sub Type will change depending on the type of Piercing you have choosen. Once done, click OK.

Stacks: You can set this to True or False. For example if you have a ring that has DR for say Fire and you have given the NPC a natural DR for Fire then the two will stack together. If set to False then these do not stack and the NPCs DR will act as if it did not have the ring.

Uses Or Logic: This is set to True or False, which to me does not make sense???

Thats the NPC properties pane finshed, but we have two more panes to go: Preview and Inventory.

The preview pane will give you the overall look of your NPC. For the Inventory, please click here.
