  Note: NPCs that are not included are: the Abjurer, 
  Archdruid, Bard, Chapmion, Conjurer, Diviner, 
  Enchanter, Evoker, Illusionist, Martial Arts Adept, 
  Master Thrief, Necromancer, Transmuter, War Priest, 
  Warlock of the Archfey, Warlock of the Fiend, Warlock 
  of the Great Old One, and the Warlord. These are great 
  NPCs I would have added, but are already part of Volo’s 
  Guide to Monsters. I recommend that supplement.

  • 
  See Chapter 9 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide to 
  apply the racial traits to your NPCs, and the 
  Monster Manual for those traits’ descriptions. 
  o 
  For example, an outland veteran can be 
  used as a human tribal warrior, or orc 
  plunderer. 
  o 
  If you want to be more careful in 
  preserving the challenge rating of the 
  NPC, you can consider the ability 
  modifier to be minimum requirements 
  rather than alterations to the stats. For 
  example, an ability modifier of +2 
  Dexterity can also mean the NPC you 
  select should have a minimum Dexterity 
  of 12. 
  • 
  Other attributes can be applied which do not 
  affect Challenge Rating, such as proficiency in a 
  skill. 
  • 
  None of the NPCs in this document teeter on the 
  edge of being of a higher or lower Challenge 
  rating, so minor alterations, even ones such as a 
  +1 to a primary ability score, likely will not make 
  a statistically significant difference in Challenge 
  Rating, though you still might notice a difference 
  in combat effectiveness in such cases. 
  • 
  Other than that, the NPC statblocks have been 
  left intentionally ‘vanilla’ so they can fulfill any 
  number of roles.
