Epic Level Handbook

APPENDIX 3:EPIC NPCSAppendix 3:Epic NPCsThis section provides baseline statistics for NPCs ofevery standard class from 21st level to 30th level.The NPC descriptions summarize a lot of informationabout the NPCs. The format is identical with thatpresented in Chapter 2 of the DUNGEON MASTER’s Guidein the Reading the NPC Descriptions sidebar. Rules forhow to adjust these statistics by race or kind of monster,as well as notes on NPC design, can also be foundin Chapter 2 of the DUNGEON MASTER’s Guide. As withthe NPCs in the DUNGEON MASTER’s Guide, you will findit is easiest to use an NPC by copying out the relevantinformation for an NPC of a given level onto a separatecharacter record or character sheet.NPC BARBARIANAbility Scores at 21st Level: Str 24 (+6 for belt), Dex16 (+2 for gloves), Con 15, Int 10, Wis 12, Cha 8.Increased Ability Scores: 24th, Con 21 (+1 for 24thlevel, +5 for manual); 27th, Dex 20 (+6 for gloves); 28th,Con 22 (+1 for 28th level).Starting Feats: Weapon Focus (greataxe), Dodge,Track, Blind-Fight, Improved Critical (greataxe), PowerAttack, Improved Critical (composite longbow).Feats: 21st, Thundering Rage; 24th, Penetrate DamageReduction; 27th, Damage Reduction; 30th, DamageReduction.Class Bonus Feats: 24th, Mighty Rage; 28th, TerrifyingRage.Starting Class Features: Rage 6/day, greater rage,not winded after rage, damage reduction 4/–, uncannydodge (Dex bonus to AC, can’t be flanked, +4 againsttraps).Class Features: 22nd, uncanny dodge (+5 againsttraps); 23rd, damage reduction 5/–; 24th, rage 7/day;25th, uncanny dodge (+6 against traps); 26th, damagereduction 6/–; 28th, uncanny dodge (+7 against traps);29th, damage reduction 7/–.Armor: +5 breastplate.Greataxe (Melee): +5 (21st–28th); +5 thundering ghosttouch (29th); +5 shock thundering ghost touch (30th).Composite Longbow (Ranged): +3 mighty (+4 Strbonus) (21st–24th); +5 mighty (+5 Str bonus) (25th–30th).Arrows: 25 +5.Potions: 2 neutralize poison, 4 cure serious wounds, 4haste, 4 heroism.Other Magic Gear: Boots of striding and springing, bugof holding 2, belt of giant strength +6, cloak of resistance +5,rod of thunder and lightning; amulet of natural armor+3(21st–22nd); ring of protection +3 (21st–25th); gloves ofDexterity +2 (21st–26th); amulet of natural armor +4(23rd); manual of bodily health +5, used (24th); amulet ofnatural armor +5 (24th–30th); ring of protection +4(26th–30th); gloves of Dexterity +6, ring of evasion(27th–30th); iridescent Ioun stone (28th–30th); cube offrost resistance (30th).Other Normal Gear: Climber’s kit, dagger, silverdagger, 3 flasks alchemist’s fire.NPC BARDAbility Scores at 21st Level: Str 10, Dex 13, Con 12,Int 14, Wis 8, Cha 26 (+6 for cloak).Increased Ability Scores: 22nd, Con 14 (+2 for Iounstone); 24th, Dex 19 (+6 for gloves), Cha 27 (11 for 24thlevel); 28th, Cha 22 (28).Starting Feats: Combat Reflexes, Weapon Focus(rapier), Weapon Finesse (rapier), Improved Initiative,Skill Focus (Perform), Skill Focus (Spellcraft), SkillFocus (Diplomacy).Feats: 21st, Improved Spell Capacity (7th); 24th,Deafening Song; 27th, Improved Spell Capacity (8th);30th, Reactive Countersong.Class Bonus Feats: 23rd, Lasting Inspiration; 26th,Hindering Song; 29th, Epic Inspiration.Starting Class Features: Bardic music, bardicknowledge.Armor: None.Rapier (Melee): +4.Light Crossbow (Ranged): Masterwork (21st–24th);+ 1 (25th); +5 (26th–30th).Bolts: 25 +1 (21st); 25 +2 (22nd); 25 +5 (23rd–24th);25 +5 bane (choose monster) (25th–30th).Potions: 2 tongues, 2 cure serious wounds, 3 fly, 2 glibness.Other Magic Gear: Horn of blasting, wand of polymorphself, cloak of Charisma +6, eyes of charming (21st);ring of protection +3, amulet of natural armor +4(21st–28th); bracers of armor +5 (21st–29th); pink IounTABLE A3–1: NPC BARBARIANLevel hp AC Init Spd Greataxe (1d12) Composite Longbow (1d8) F/R/W Cli Ju Intim List Wild21st 183 29 +3 60 ft. +34/29/24/19 (+12) +33/28/23/18 (+12) +19/+13/+11 +20 +30 +22 +20 +2022nd 192 29 +3 60 ft. +34/29/24/19 (+12) +33/28/23/18 (+12) +20/+14/+12 +20 +31 +23 +21 +2123rd 200 30 +3 60 ft. +35/30/25/20 (+12) +34/29/24/19 (+12) +20/+14/+12 +21 +32 +24 +21 +2224th 276 31 +3 60 ft. +35/30/25/20 (+12) +34/29/24/19 (+12) +21/+15/+13 +21 +33 +25 +22 +2325th 287 31 +3 60 ft. +36/31/26/21 (+12) +37/32/27/22 (+13) +21/+15/+13 +21 +34 +26 +23 +2426th 299 33 +3 60 ft. +36/31/26/21 (+12) +37/32/27/22 (+13) +22/+16/+14 +21 +35 +27 +24 +2527th 310 33 +3 60 ft. +37/32/27/22 (+12) +40/35/30/25 (+13) +22/+18/+14 +21 +36 +28 +25 +2628th 350 33 +3 60 ft. +37/32/27/22 (+12) +40/35/30/25 (+13) +23/+19/+15 +21 +37 +29 +26 +2729th 362 33 +3 60 ft. +38/33/28/23 (+12) +41/36/31/26 (+13) +23/+19/+15 +21 +38 +30 +27 +2830th 375 33 +3 60 ft. +38/33/28/23 (+12) +41/36/31/26 (+13) +24/+20/+16 +22 +39 +31 +27 +29310
