Ultimate NPCs: Skulduggery Hardcover (5E)

Step into the tavern. The rooms are warm (ish), and the rates are low (almost suspiciously so) — just don't ask what's in the pies, and don't expect to have all your valuables come morning.

A tool for Game Masters and players alike, Ultimate NPCs: Skulduggery features a full-world character collection of thieves, assassins, and mercenaries — each with the backstory and statistics necessary to run as an NPC or player character in your favorite tabletop RPG.

Who This Appeals To

Game Masters who want richly detailed criminal and roguish NPCs ready to drop into any campaign — from a shadowy thieves' guild to a seedy port city. Also perfect for players who want a morally complex character with a fully realized backstory.

What You'll Experience
