Random NPC stat generator suggestion #95

Open SpaceJeezus opened 3 years ago

In the NPC creation window, is there a way for foundry to role random stats with a quick NPC generator button and then all we have to do is add weapons and cybertech to their inventory and assign a token?

Not with the current NPC which is ridiculously simple, but the next version will have a NPC data record that is between the character record and the NPC record so far as detail and editability. That should be able to do that.

What kind of randomness are you looking for though? I was designing the new NPC to make it easy to type in stat and skill blocks from the book. You mean just pick a completely random number for everything? That might end up with wildly varying NPCs.

Just their basic stats, I could see a need where I need to generate an NPC fast. Instead of pausing the game, breaking out the book and looking through pages; I just click the generate button and a NPC suddenly has Body, Will, etc. Numbers 1-8. ( you never know when a player wants to fight someone) This would be more for citizens and not NPCs with specific roles like another edge runner.....but it could also be a good starting point for those too and we just go in and correct the appropriate stats and add skills?

All that being said, this thinking was based off the old NPC creation tool, so I am not sure how quick the new NPC will be and it very well may be what works best. Keep up the awesome work, you continue to make my life easier as a GM!
