About this tool

This tool was created to help keep track of NPCs during battle in a Legend of Five Rings tabletop campaign. It allows a GM to create and delete NPCs on command, deal damage to them, and lists helpful information about their weapons, skills and techniques. The NPC stats are based upon a template (enemy type) that can also be created with this tool. You also have the option to create an NPC from a specified type, but override specific fields on the fly.

General Workflow

It would be useful to start by using the links above to create the necessary weapons and techniques that an NPC might equip and utilize. Then use the "Manage Enemy Types" link to create the npc templates that will be used throughout the campaign. Once you have all your enemy types created (or enough to run your next game session) you can use the current enemy set page to create as many NPCs from the types as you need for a given encounter. If you need to override some of the type values to give one NPC an extra boost, check the override checkbox and fill in whichever fields you wish to override. Any left blank will be pulled from the type.

Status

This tool is a work in progress. Please feel free to reach out with any bugs you find or ideas for enhancements. If you are viewing this page and are unsure how to reach me, that really stinks for you.
