A sample NPC for RQ that should bring back memories of the old BRP days:
"Burly Bob"
STR 19
CON 15
DEX 13
SIZ 15
INT 12
POW 9
CHA 12
Hit Points: 6 each leg, 7 abdomen, 8 chest, 5 each arm, 6 head
Damage Modifier +1D2
Combat Actions: 3
Skills to be worked out later (Based on his background).
Burly Bob is a day laborer in a large town. with his impressive musculature, he hires himself out fro building construction, dock work, and any other legal jobs where a strong abck and willinginess to work hard are useful. Although this won't mkae him rich, it's not a bad life and he's been getting better and better-paying jobs over the years.
Burly Bob is a permanent resident of the Crunchy Frog, an inn at the town that caters to travelers. Each night after work he will return there, give the innkeeper some of his wages for the day, and have a good meal and a few tankards of good ale before going to bed. Any traveling adventurer who looks tough will usually find himself challenged to an arm-wrestling match against the threatening-looking Burly Bob, who is highly skilled at the sport and wins more often than he loses. However, he generally does both with good grace. Bob is also a sort of extra bouncer for the Crunchy Frog, expelling unruly patrons or taking them to their rooms (usually by picking up and carrying the offender).
Although Bob is big, he's not dumb. he's good company, appreciates a good story, joke or song (one of the reasons he spends so much time at an inn frequented by travelers is so he can hear their stories) and can give good advice, if asked, about what parets of town poses the greatest risks and what precuations are most effective against them. The owner of the Crunchy Frog has a young daughter who he would very much like to see married to Bob, but the girl is a bit wild and (so far) only sees him as a family friend. Bob doesn't talk about rumors about his past, including one that states that he came to town to escape justice after the one time he has ever truly lost his temper cost a man his life.
