For example, a gnome druid might have a speed of 25 feet and the Tinker trait. Adding ancestral traits to an NPC doesn&#8217;t alter its challenge rating.

You can substitute any spell on the NPC&#8217;s spell list with a different spell of the same level from the same spell list. Swapping spells in this manner doesn&#8217;t alter an NPC&#8217;s challenge rating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Armor and Weapon Swaps.<\/strong><\/em>&nbsp;You can upgrade or downgrade an NPC&#8217;s armor, or add or switch weapons. Adjustments to Armor Class and damage can change an NPC&#8217;s challenge rating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Magic Items.<\/strong><\/em>&nbsp;The more powerful an NPC, the more likely it has one or more magic items in its possession. An archmage, for example, might have a magic staff or wand, as well as one or more potions and scrolls. Giving an NPC a potent damage-dealing magic item could alter its challenge rating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NPCs A-Z<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bloodstone-press.com\/AvV-Rules-5e\/gaulish-barbarian\/\">Gaulish Barbarian<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bloodstone-press.com\/AvV-Rules-5e\/priestess-of-bellona\/\">Priestess of Bellona<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bloodstone-press.com\/AvV-Rules-5e\/roman-allied-medium-infantry\/\">Roman Allied Medium Infantry<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bloodstone-press.com\/AvV-Rules-5e\/roman-allied-peltast\/\">Roman Allied Peltast<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bloodstone-press.com\/AvV-Rules-5e\/roman-allied-spearman\/\">Roman Allied Spearman<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bloodstone-press.com\/AvV-Rules-5e\/roman-hastatus\/\">Roman Hastatus<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bloodstone-press.com\/AvV-Rules-5e\/roman-levi\/\">Roman Levi<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bloodstone-press.com\/AvV-Rules-5e\/roman-princeps\/\">Roman Princeps<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bloodstone-press.com\/AvV-Rules-5e\/roman-triarius\/\">Roman Triarius<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bloodstone-press.com\/AvV-Rules-5e\/scout\/\">Scout<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bloodstone-press.com\/AvV-Rules-5e\/witch-of-mars\/\">Witch of Mars<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<html><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7407299123652569\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<!-- Ad Unit 1 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7407299123652569\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"8734563693\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script> <\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Customizing NPCs There are many easy ways to customize the NPCs for your home campaign.
