NPC Book – Grumph

Based on the book series NPC

A reserved, bookish, overthinking commoner who becomes the party’s arcane backbone. His magic is practical, clever, and defensive—not showy. He’s the guy who reads the manual twice before casting Mage Armor.

Roleplay Style

Grumph’s dialogue should reflect:

• Nervousness
• Overthinking
• Practical caution
• Academic curiosity
• Loyalty to the group
• Occasional dry humor

Choose:

• “Are we sure this is safe?”
• “I read about this once…”
• “Let’s think before we act.”
• “I can try something, but no promises.”

He’s not cowardly — he’s careful.
