THE ROGUES GALLERY is intended as a playing aid for ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS™ to assist the Dun-

geon Master in creating Non-player Characters (NPC's). In it are statistics, combat information, and special skills

for all classes of characters, along with notes on appearance, personality, and magic items. Use of this booklet

will allow the DM to completely detail all information about randomly encountered characters in a much shorter

time than is otherwise required.

Also included in these charts are details on some monsters and groups of men which often prove time-consuming

to create. These are liches, couatl, ki-rin, Shedu, sages, city guards, city watches, border patrols, caravans,

pilgrims, bandits, buccaneers, and dungeon parties. When such monsters or groups are randomly encountered,

these sections may be consulted to give information such as spells, composition, magic items, or level.

Some of the information presented in each section varies according to the class or monster presented and will be

explained in the introduction to that section. Much information remains constant and is explained below.

RA: This lists the race of the character. The abbreviations are as follows:

1 / 2 E — half-elf

H — human

1 / 2

— halfling

D — dwarf

1 / 2 O — half-orc

G — gnome

E — elf

SX: This indicates the sex of the character — male (M) or female (F).

AL: Alignments are abbreviated by the first letters of the type (i.e. lawful good is LG).

ST, IN, Wl, DX, CN, CH: These are the character statistics of strength, intelligence, wisdom, dexterity, constitution

and charisma. They have already been adjusted for race and sex. Exceptional strength percentages are listed

after the slash.

LV: The level of characters in general does not exceed 13 throughout this booklet. This is intentional, as

characters of higher level should be personally created and designed by the DM.

HP: This is the number of hit points, and has already been adjusted for constitution.

AC: This represents the base armor type worn or possessed by the character. This figure is not adjusted for

dexterity or any magical devices.

+ H: Adjustments on the chance to score a hit are listed here. These adjustments are due to strength and do not

take into account bonuses vs. specific creature types or those given by magical weapons.

+ D: Extra damage done due to strength or, in some cases, special abilities is noted here. This does not include

extra damage due to magical weapons or devices.

DB: The Dexterity Bonus (DB) is the defensive adjustment made to the armor class of the character. In most cases,

this will serve to lower the AC of the character.

SB: The saving throw bonus (SB) is the adjustment given for high or low wisdom scores and applies only to mental

attacks or influences on the character. However, some non-humans receive a constitution bonus that affects other

types of saving throws — those vs. poison and magic. Since the 2 adjustments may or may not be used at once,

they have been written individually — wisdom first, then constitution. None of these saving throw bonuses take into

account possible magical devices.

R/AT: The reaction/attacking adjustment applies only to missile weapons and to adjustments on the surprise die. It

is not modified in any way for magical devices.

AG, AP, PO, SA, GT: All of these categories deal with the personality of the character. The abbreviations stand for

Age (AG), Appearance (AP), Possessions (PO), Sanity (SA), and General Tendencies (GT). Information on these and

more appears on pp. 100-101 of the DUNGEON MASTERS GUIDE. The tables for each of these characteristics are

given below.

# of H: In some instances, it may be useful to know the number of henchmen a character might have with him.

Henchmen may be assigned when creating dungeon parties or when encountering high-level characters. The

morale of such henchmen is dependent to a great deal on the events of the moment and they are more likely.to

flee a bad encounter than their master is.

Ml: This section, for magic items, has been purposely left sketchy and incomplete, as it is the DM's decision that

matters about such things. Abbreviations used here are: S — sword; A — armor; SH — shield; P — potion; SC —

scroll; R — ring; W — wand, staff, or rod; OW — other miscellaneous weapon; M — miscellaneous magic item.

These tables may be used in many ways — for determining random encounters and hirelings — but careful

judgment is recommended at all times. If any information does not suit the campaign or the DM's personal tastes,

it should be changed. However, changes in statistics may result in necessary changes elsewhere in the

character's information, so care should be taken to check all listings for that character.

As characters from these tables are used in random encounters, it may prove useful to make a mark in pencil to

remind the DM of its previous use. If a character is killed, some DM's may wish to cross out the entire character.

This, however, is not advised. If a character is used often as a hireling, the DM may wish to transfer the information

here to a complete sheet. The AD&D NON-PLAYER CHARACTER RECORDS from TSR are ideally suited for this.

Clever use of this playing aid can greatly assist a DM and speed the game, making it even more enjoyable for all

involved.
