Adaptable NPCs II

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Dungeon Masters, immerse players in your world by bringing the non-player characters to life, again!

A follow-up to the best-selling Adaptable NPCs, book two is even bigger and better! Contained within this supplement are 110 NPCs with unique statblocks, each with custom art, lore, and a game stats balanced for the 5e Challenge Rating system.

Additionally, 12 short adventures have been included. These adventures have been created for Dungeon Masters to introduce their players to some of the Adaptable NPCs with minimal preparation. Each adventure has high-resolution printable battle maps created by Justin Andrew Mason (DM & Player versions are included), an adventure background, a recommend party level, and room descriptions with encounters (both combat and roleplaying) utilizing NPCs from this supplement and the 5e monster manual. 

Note: Player maps and NPC tokens have been included as additional downloads in separate .zip files.

Reviews

"One of Adaptable NPCs II's biggest strengths is how the supplement inspires storylines and sidequests." - Comicbook.com

"If you don't have a copy of this book and its predecessor, you are making a mistake. Filled with amazingly well created NPCs, all decked out with lovely art and laid out wonderfully." - Comics, Clerics, & Controllers

"An absolute MUST have for any DMs tool kit! These monsters have fantastic lore and great combat mechanics!" - Crit Academy 

"Truly an incredible tome full of every kind of NPC, BBEG & BFF from the lowliest vagabond and deserter, through warriors, mages, heroes, Demons and Devils of every stripe, flavour, setting and magnitude, all the way to an Archfiend, Deity, their minions, messengers, champions and dark lords; every one of them filled with enough flavour to grow an encounter, adventure, arc and/ or campaign." - Curse of Sebs

"This is a very impressive work! Chock full of NPCs benign and malign. In the first few pages alone, I got a dozen different story ideas." - R.P. Davis

Has an index been added to Adaptable NPCs II? The material is fantastic, but a little hard to navigate.

Thanks for your kind words! Page 3 has a ToC with the NPCs organized by CR. Each NPC is listed with a clickable link/bookmark to the page it is found. Were you looking for something in addition to this?

Hi Joseph,

While the DMsGuild still do not allow FVTT content on their site, we have started to adapt other 5e Compatible content for this platform. Check out the link below, or join our Discord server for more info!

I loved Adaptable NPC I and have the hardcover - is there any plans that this will be offered as a hardcover?

Hi Glenn,

Thank you so much for your support. Unfortunately, the DMsGuild has changed their policy regarding acceptance of PoD titles. If given the option, we would absolutely make this available for print, but it is up to the DMsGuild.

I would encourage anyone interested in having a PoD of this (or any DMsGuild) title to reach out to DMsGuild customer support with a nicely worded request:

Cheers,
Trevor

Does this entry have the same crippling flaw as Adaptable NPCs I where the stat blocks cannot be copy-pasted because of their formatting? I am considering giving this book a shot but the first one was rendered more or less unusable because of those issues so I would appreciate some reassurance that this isn't the case for Adaptable NPCs II.

Adaptable NPCs II was created differently than the first, so you are able to copy/paste from the statblocks.

We also plan to go back and redo ANPCs I at some point so you can copy/paste from the statblocks to help out our roll20 friends, but we need to wrap up a few other projects first.

Hi William,
We would love to create a print version like the first ANPCs. Unfortunately, the DMsGuild has changed their policies surrounding PoD. I would encourage you (or anyone interested) to reach out to the DMsGuild support and request ANPCs II be made available for Print on Demand. We are more than willing to put in the work, we just need their approval!
Cheers,
Trevor

What is the difference between the optimized version and the regular version?

Just the download size - as it relates image quality. The optimized one if perfectly usable, but the regular version contains source file size for all of the art included.

Just cruising through the content for an upcoming session (awesome material by the way), the enslaved drake on page 40 has a typo under legendary actions saying it makes an attack with its greatsword.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
