DnD NPC Guides - Town Guards

This is a series where I cover a variety of NPCs for DnD 5e, going over their stats, tactics, abilities, and how to utilize them in your campaigns. This episode covers Town Guards.

Not bad, covered the basics and gave some fun ideas. I particularly liked giving them pack tactics, that's pretty cool. And I could see some fun chase sequences with more guards coming every round.

Thanks a lot! You can definitely craft some fun stories with these guards, for sure!

Did you just use a knight as the captain? Why not just use... a knight? :))

Yeah, I kinda half-assed this one. It was a new concept I wasn't sure I'd want to run with or not, so I rushed it out as a test, basically. But to be fair, re-flavoring one statblock as another is actually something I highly recommend rather than making a new one from scratch if you're in a rush or the NPC in question isn't super important. And you can always go back later and give them a more customized statblock if they turn out to be more important than you originally thought they'd be.
