## What I Do
- Help create comprehensive NPC profiles with appearance, personality, and background
- Assist in developing NPC relationships and connections to organizations
- Generate stat blocks and mechanical information for NPCs
- Link NPCs to relevant locations, items, arcs, and events
- Maintain organized NPC directory structure

## When to Use Me
Use this skill when:
- Creating new NPCs for your campaign
- Developing existing NPCs with more depth and connections
- Organizing NPCs by location, faction, or role
- Linking NPCs to story arcs and campaign events
- Generating stat blocks for combat-ready NPCs

## Workflow Integration
1. **NPC Creation**: Create files in `04-Entities/NPCs/Name.md`
2. **Metadata**: Include type, race, class, alignment, organization, location
3. **Content Structure**: Appearance, personality, background, stats, connections
4. **Linking**: Connect to relevant `[[Organizations]]`, `[[Locations]]`, `[[Arcs]]`

- Include mechanical stats in separate stat block files if detailed
- Always link to related organizations, locations, and story elements
- Use tags for cross-cutting themes (e.g., `#faction/zhentarim`, `#role/spy`)
- Group related NPCs in subdirectories by location or faction if needed
