NPCs, the bane of every ST's existence. You need them, by their hundreds, and in some cases they need to be as detailed as the PCs, and in many cases they need to be more powerful in some way: BUT the PCs have trouble enough keeping track of their own sheets and abilities: how can you handle creating dozens upon dozens of NPCs when there are no good guidelines for what a character should look like in terms of stats? This rule set addresses that.

First Precepts

The first thing to remember about the content on this page is that it is not a rule variant, but more a set of rules which the ST can apply to create detailed NPCs of any power level. For a more 'quick and dirty' solution Google "Fixalted Simplified NPCs".

Second thing to remember, this establishes guidelines for the relative availability and scalar nature of Attributes, Abilities, Backgrounds, and Virtues. It uses Mortals as it's base assumption and therefore is only really suitable for starting Exalted PCs and most NPCs: exalts who have been active a while break all the rules by their nature.

Third, as mentioned above these are guidelines, if you have a good NPC idea which does not fit this set of rules do it anyway. These rules are here to help, not hinder, and should never be taken as some kind of gospel.
