Follower Classes - Long Term NPCs
Ever find yourself short a player (or two)? Do you ever find yourself needing a way to create easy-to-run allies or villains who can level along with the characters? In the following pages¸ you will find what you need to address both of these issues. Included¸ you will find four NPC classes: the berserker¸ the fire priest¸ the shadow assassin¸ and the warmage. Each is similar to one of the Dungeons & Dragons core classes but unique in its flavor and combination of abilities. For each NPC class¸ I present a representative character¸ complete with a name¸ backstory¸ description¸ quotes¸ and ideas for how to get them started in your campaign. I also have included one example stat block per character. Finally¸ I have included a simplified character sheet that can be used by players controlling the followers. Ready for use in your campaign¸ and playtested up through level 20 - fun guaranteed! If you'd like to see more like this¸ please support my work - I've got a dozen more follower classes in the works.
