NPC Sheets

The Sheet of an NPC

VITALITY: NPCs do not have separate Health and Stamina attributes. Once their Vitality runs out, they are defeated. Consider that direct damage deals additional damage to NPCs equal to half the original damage, rounded up.

PROTECTION: NPCs that wear armor or have some layer of natural protection may have Protection values.

DEFENSE: For the sake of simplicity, NPCs have only the Defense skill to handle any check related to Agility , Dodge , or Shield .

RESISTANCE: For the sake of simplicity, NPCs have only the Resistance skill to handle any check related to Physique and Will .

SPEED: Only the most efficient speed of each NPC is described on its sheet. Based on this, the GM should use good judgment to determine the other types of speed and their values.

ATTACKS: Any NPC can make only one attack per major action . If its sheet has more than one attack, the GM must choose which one to use. The number following the attack's name represents the NPC 's skill with that attack, while the number in parentheses represents the damage dealt.

ABILITIES: Most NPCs have special abilities. Some abilities have conditions that define when they take effect. Abilities without conditions are normally passive abilities. However, whether or not they have a condition, abilities that appear in the attacks list require a major action from the NPC to be performed. The bonus in parentheses right after an ability's name indicates the NPC 's skill with that ability. Some abilities require the target to resist using a specific skill; in those cases the required skill is indicated at the end of the ability's description. Finally, abilities marked with the symbol † require the GM to spend 1 Bane to be activated.
