I think I want npc's fleshed out more so I understand better what they can and can't do. And whatever gear they might be carrying. And I kinda wanna see what other people are making with their npc's and chars. Im currently trying to run Rifts, but i like alot of the systems. I feel a more complete npc is easier for me to get into the personality of for better role playing. I fear I am making all mine generallically similar and boring.
Also, I'm not good at programming
This right here is *exactly* why I made my disposable NPC generators. Many NPCs are similar, and the developed NPCs I see all over the place in the sourcebooks are almost always exceptional NPCs, usually with highly improbably attribute rolls.
The NPC generators I've made scale up with level, and most offer some variants with additional skill and equipment packages so they're not all generic. You can certainly take these and make an exceptionally powerful NPC by having that otherwise-average NPC be level 15.
I only like to invest the time to roll up NPCs that I plan on using as recurring characters, especially villains.
