Featured Characters as NPCs
The reality of gaming is that it’s often harder to
find the opportunity to participate as a player
rather than as a dungeon master. This section
provides the means for DMs to enjoy the
archetypes by turning the featured characters into
Non-Playable Characters (NPCs) that they can
readily insert into their campaign.
A series of stat blocks below represents different
stages of Garnox and Vindrel’s life. The amateur
wrestler blocks represent the early days of their
careers. At Challenge Rating 3, they are suited

characters. The champion wrestler block is for level
5-10 parties and the legendary wrestler block is for
level 11 and above.
The stat blocks follow the Monster/NPC creation
rules from the Dungeon Master’s Guide. So, they
