New NPC mod in progress Options

[Sir_Carnifex]

I have begun work on an NPC mod.

He will be a halfling thief. Now, don't start screaming "We have to many thieves already!" I have hardly seen mods that include halfling NPC's (Alora is the only one I know) and I just imagine halflings as being thieves and nothing else. Needless to say, I dislike Mazzy!

I'm no artist, but I scraped up this portrait for him. I may want to change it later.



His name is Halbo and he is an over-sized Halfling. He has a tendency to rub other party members the wrong way -- intentionally if he can. Though he has no problems with verbal warfare, he prefers to avoid real battle if possible. He is highly-skilled with a sling (including called shot ability), but at a cost.

He will be available somewhere in the Druid Grove.

His stats are:

STR: 15
DEX: 19
CON: 17
INT: 13
WIS: 8
CHA: 11

Total: 83

For starters, I intend to just make him a basic character. He will have plenty of banters with the other NPCs, plus some interjections. Later I would like to add his own special quest and items.

I'm open to ideas.

I posted a story using Halbo here: Story

he looks to 'nice/good' for a CN character

Well, I agree that his wide grin seemed a bit out of place, but I tend not to go along with the idea that evil characters have to look mean, rugged, or ugly, or that good characters have to look angelic (Keldorn certainly doesn't!) with neutral being somewhere between. I think movies have ingrained that in us.

I'm trying to give him more of a mischievous look. The edited version is now alongside the first one. His goofy grin has been replaced with a smirk, plus the background is changed. Better, I think, but he still looks "nice".

It isn´t bad at all, but if you want really a perfect one, try visit nwvault.ign.com. Although the site is dedicated to NWN and NWN2, there´s a lot of useful stuff, portraits especially. Just navigate your own via menu on the left side to portrait section and I´m pretty sure you´ll find some that will suit your needs...smile.gif

I looked that over plus a bunch of other sites I found. It's tempting to want to grab a pre-made portrait, but I think that I'd still like to make my own. There's more of a sense of accomplishment that way. Plus, I enjoy the challenge.

Thanks for all the input!
