::Forum - Question about leveling up NPCs

Year 10 Day 96 14:07

I have a question about the data portrayed in the following table:

Combat NPC Type	Class Skills	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Description	Price	Hiring Location
Rifleman	Strength	1	1	1	An enlisted soldier who spent their early life in a rural area, where they received training from their parents in the use of blaster weapons for self-defence.	14,000	Barracks, Training Academy
	Vigor	1	1	1
	Speed	1	1	1
	Perception	1	2	2
	Projectile Weapons	1	2	3
	Dodge	1	1	1

It shows that a level 1 rifleman NPC has a 1 Projectile Weapons skill, whereas level 2 and 3
rifleman have 2 and 3 PW skill respectively. This arises the following question:

Does this refer to XP level, where the PW skill would be automatically upped to
level 2 as soon as it levels up without spending any SP? Or is this like custom NPCs
which would mean it could start with any of the three skill sets chosen randomly?

Try replacing the word level with class. In that case you can get a level 1 class 1 NPC but you can also get a level 1 class 2 or 3 NPC.

The table refers to a class level not an XP level.

So it's just decided randomly, with no changes with XP level, thanks.

If you read around the NPC rules, you will find the percentages of finding each the three different starting skill sets of NPCs. The highest level one is about 10% chance.

Yep, found it:

“There is a 60% chance that the NPC will be of level 1, 30% chance of level 2, and only 10% chance of level 3.

- "NPC rules"

Thanks again.
