Ultimate NPCs: Warfare Hardcover (5E)

Ultimate NPCs: Warfare is a 5E D&D sourcebook of ready-to-use military NPCs for your tabletop campaigns, compatible with the 2014 and 2024 rules.

Step onto the Battlefield

Horns blare, spears clatter, horses madden at the scent of death, and soldiers cry out for glory, vengeance, righteousness, and bloodlust; for both heroes and monsters are forged in the crucible of war.

Inside this tome you will find 30 finely crafted NPCs, each statted out at levels 1, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20, producing 180 unique characters. From high command to the cook's tent, you get soldiers, auxiliaries, and noncombatants with backstories, personality traits, and roleplaying cues.

How the Book Is Organized

The characters are divided into three sections by alignment, ten good, ten neutral, and ten evil, and each section opens with the guilds and factions those characters belong to. That gives you the organization behind the person, so a single NPC can pull an entire faction into your campaign.

Because every character is statted at six points across their career, the same person can recur as your party levels. The sergeant who trained them at level one can return as a commander at level sixteen, without you rebuilding anything. Unique magic items and spells appear throughout.

Run them as allies, patrons, and villains, or hand one to a player as a ready-made character. So strap on your armor, sharpen your sword, and meet your comrades-in-arms.
