Quick Build NPCs

So yon need a villain or supporting cast fast? Here is a quick and dirty way to get you what you need. 

Step zero concept.

Get a good idea of what type of NPC you need. Once you have an idea about what you need then you can move on to crunchy part of the process.

Step one select a stock NPC or Archetype.

Find a stock NPC in the world book your using that best fits your idea. If nothing works then use the civilian. Now that you have the base lets customize it.

Step two determine the number of edge slots.

Look at where the PCs are rank wise and set the number of edge slots.

Novice: 2

Seasoned: 3

Veteran: 4

Heroic: 5

Legendary: 6

If the NPC is a non-wild card subtract one edge of the NPC is supposed to be the main villain for the adventure then add a slot.

Step three allocate the slots.

Select one edge for each slot if there is a Skill or Attribute required for the edge add them. If it requires an edge then you need to use a slot for that edge.

Example: If you want your NPC to have Very Attractive you must also take Attractive thus it cost 2 slots.  

Step four add the finishing touches.

Add two hindrances or if the NPC is not a wild card add one.

Give your NPC a name gear and as much back story as you need.

Step five have fun.
