Faces of the Tarnished Souk: An NPC Collection (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781508532026)

Greetings. This ain't your pappy's NPC book. On an impossible island far across the Slumbering Sea, there churns a shadowy marketplace known as the Tarnished Souk. The motley faces of this bazaar of the bizarre include merchants, mages, and walking nightmares, each providing their own unique goods and services, each selling dreams, buying miracles, and trading lives as readily as coin. After entering the Souk's weird and winding aisles, the question for a dreamer is not whether they have what you want, but rather: are you willing to pay their price? Faces of the Tarnished Souk provides:

A host of complex and unique NPCs that a GM can easily drop into nearly any campaign.

Each NPC features ingenious stat-blocks crafted using a staggering array of classes, templates, magic items, feats, and traits, including dozens of wild new elements and combinations, which will surprise and challenge nearly any PC.

Every entry includes game statistics for low, middle, and high challenge ratings, so that they are suitable for all levels of play giving you over a hundred different stat-blocks to challenge your PCs with.

Each comes with easy-to-use tactics, personal histories, motivations, lore DCs, secrets, and insights into each NPC's most carefully guarded dreams.

This product presents each NPC so that it can serve as either friend or foe, as well as providing a service or product so they always help to generate evocative encounters for anyone who steps up to see what they have to offer.
