+<h1>DESIGNING NPCs</h1>
+<p>While running the game, you will sometimes find yourself in need of an NPC whose statistics aren't already provided by the bestiary. When this happens, you have two possible choices:</p>
+
+<ul>
+    <li><strong>Reskin.</strong> The process known as “reskinning” consists of taking an NPC of the appropriate level and simply describing them as something different, with minor modifications. For instance, if you need a dragon for your session but your group is level 9, you could use a drake (which is level 10) and grant it the ability to fly since the rest of the monster's profile is already fitting.</li>
+    <li><strong>Create from scratch.</strong> The alternative is to build your own NPC. This process normally takes ten to fifteen minutes, and possibly longer at high levels.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Over the course of this section, you will learn how to build a soldier-rank NPC from scratch; please keep in mind that, while this system gives you clear guidelines, the challenge posed by a given NPC will vary greatly depending on the Player Characters' Skills, equipment, and current resources!</p>
+
+<h2>Character Concept</h2>
+<p>Think about the NPC's role in the world and pick four Traits that make them unique: a personality, a need or instinct, or even a specific quirk of their nature. Much like a Player Character's Identity, Theme and Origin, an NPC's Traits help you portray them as a three-dimensional being. Villains may also invoke their Traits to reroll Checks (page 46).</p>
+
+<h2>Building the Profile</h2>
+<ol>
+    <li><strong>Distribute one of the following arrays among the NPC's Attributes:</strong>
+        <ul>
+            <li>Jack of All Trades: d8, d8, d8, d8</li>
+            <li>Standard: d10, d8, d8, d6</li>
+            <li>Specialized: d10, d10, d6, d6</li>
+            <li>Super Specialized: d12, d8, d6, d6</li>
+        </ul>
+        <p><em>Upon reaching levels 20, 40, and 60, the NPC chooses one of its Attributes and increases it by one die size (to a maximum of d12).</em></p>
+    </li>
+    <li><strong>Choose the NPC's level:</strong> From a minimum of 5 to a maximum of 60.</li>
+    <li><strong>Choose the NPC’s Species:</strong> beast, construct, demon, elemental, humanoid, monster, plant, or undead. Each Species has its own rules. You can find more information about Species on the upcoming pages.</li>
