In fact, more tables of the form "what does X need?" for many different NPC and monster types would be pretty useful.Necropraxishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12716340801054739658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-283938885302784821.post-39664554610870460512012-05-20T08:17:30.828-07:002012-05-20T08:17:30.828-07:003, 5, 4, 141, 436, 4, 11, 1-2, 5, 8.

It was an old chaotic fighter that drove him away from his former tower, and he continues to hold a grudge against them to this day. The cave is decorated with several statues of those the old despot sent to kill him. <br /><br />He is incredibly lonely now, and will attempt to keep any guests around for as long as possible. His greatest desire is to have a child of his own. He prefers disciplined elven students to his other apprentices, or he did before he was driven away. It has been many years since he had someone to teach.<br /><br />If sought out for his services, he will be very firm on his price, and attempts at haggling will drive up the price.David The Archmagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11649391406526258069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-283938885302784821.post-22442740516751791702012-05-20T07:02:48.994-07:002012-05-20T07:02:48.994-07:00Thank you! ^__^Thank you! ^__^Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16988517412357391012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-283938885302784821.post-49806746595159758412012-05-20T03:08:29.884-07:002012-05-20T03:08:29.884-07:00I quite like that.

I decided to test it out and here is what I got: 6, 6, 5, 321, 313, 3, 2, 8, 8, 9.<br /><br />The wizard can be found in the depths of a dungeon, longing to be an advisor to the local monarch, and selling magic to adventurers as a means of expressing his loyalty to the crown. He distrusts male dwarf thieves, possibly because of his fondness for female dwarf fighters. Those that annoy him get sent to Carcosa.<br /><br />I think your charts work well for making up wizards in general too. Nice work.Simon Forsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01243845335993440168noreply@blogger.com
