Description
Want to know a secret? You’ve come to the right place.
From the creators of the award-nominated Denizens of Avadnu, Fantasy Personae: Sages, Spies, and Informants collects ten exotic NPCs whose insight is deadlier than their blades. Each NPC writeup contains a detailed background, rumors, attitudes, adventure ideas, complete statistics, and a full-color illustration.
You won’t find any human fighters or elf rogues in Fantasy Personae. All writeups take full advantage of wild d20 fantasy to create memorable encounters. In addition, many NPCs use templates, races, and other Open Game Content from some of the most popular third-party d20 rulebooks on the market.
Among others, Fantasy Personae includes: An exiled djinni spymaster who uses summoned elementals to watch his enemies. A mechanical gargoyle who has inherited the libraries of three powerful mages–and who must contend with its masters’ requests from beyond death. An undead scholar enraptured by the magic of a holy work, and who now wears celestial secrets on his skin.
Reviews
Here is what the reviewers are saying about Fantasy Personae:
Sages, Spies, and Informants.
"4 out of 5. Overall, the ten characters present interesting
opportunities for the GM to customize his campaign. If you’re
looking to expand the reach of you’re NPCs beyond the realm of
hack and slash, Sages, Spies and Informants is for you."
–Joe G. Kushner, EN World
"4 out of 5. I really liked Fantasy Personae - Sages, Spies,
and Informants; it's a very imaginative resource sure to liven up any
campaign when it comes time to hunt out an expert in a field that the
PCs aren't too knowledgeable in."
–John Cooper, EN World
"4 out of 5. The PDF has a good amount of creativity in it and
a nice amount of useful NPCs."
–Crothian, EN World
"The NPCs here are genuine characters in their own right, with histories and interests that obviously carry on even when the characters are nowhere around - always a good sign of well-developed NPCs. If your characters ever seek information from specialist sources, this book is well worth a look."
–Megan Robertson, RPGNow
