5.0 out of 5 stars
Possibly the most useful book,
By Tim (England, Kent) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Enemies and Allies (Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition) (Paperback)
This book is amazing for the lazy as it not only tells you how to make an NPC in minutes but it also lists about 40 NPCs with ideas in how to link them in to a campaign and there tactics in a fight, of course along with any information you will need in a fight and a adenture situaation. It doesn't just keep to the normal races and classes and it also ranges from level 1 to 20 and they all come equiped with names and backgrounds. You can easily use the shell and make the charecter your own. plus it comes with old favourites like Tordex and Redgar at 5th, 10th and 15th level. It list possesions so that you don't have to work out why a stat is higher than it shoud be. All in all a great book

Useful aide to DM's,
By A Customer
This review is from: Enemies and Allies (Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition) (Paperback)
Sometimes DM's have to come up with an NPC at a moments notice. This useful addition will be of great use to hard pressed DM's in giving them immediate access to lots of NPC's. There are individuals, groups, and best of all the characters that grace the core rulebooks are detailed at differrent stages in their careers. A worthwhile addition to the D20 family.

Rogues Gallery 2001,
By Brian K. Eason - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Enemies and Allies (Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition) (Paperback)
Back in the late 70's or early 80's, TSR (for those of you who are new, TSR owned D&D before WoTC) created a book of NPCs called the "Rogues Gallery". It was page after page of lists of stats for characters of each class... Boring.However, in the back of the book was 10 or so pages of fully fleshed NPC's (mainly from Gary Gygax's campaign)... and that was the GEM hidden in the trash. Enemies and Allies is the modern version of those last 10 pages... And it is a bit of a Gem itself. Only 64 pages in length, this booklet packs quite a punch. Each chapter provides a cross-section of fully detailed characters for the Niche they have been assigned. There are unique spells and some new Feats that appear (as one might expect), additionally some of the NPCs run beyond interesting into the realm of inspired (such as the Illithid Assassin Yarrick Zan). The real meat of the book is in the Two-Page "One-Minute NPC" section. Finally, the "Iconic" characters from the Players Handbook are provided (Redgar, Tordek, etc.) Which is just fun. Surely this is not a necessary addition to a Game Masters arsenal, but it is a happy addition for those of us that like to see how someone else thinks. 15 of 20 people found the following review helpful:

Enemies and Allies?,
By "christianc@review.com" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Enemies and Allies (Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition) (Paperback)
I was excited at the prospect of getting this book but when I opened it, I was dissapointed by its contents. I was expecting rules and guidelines as to how to create balanced and proper NPCs but rather I saw a lot of missmatched classes, especially with the "monster" types like Mindflayer Assassin (huh?). In short, I was expecting a lot from this material, hoping this would help me create NPC's (enemies or allies) using sound guidelines but rather the entire booklet is just full of silly and ridiculous samples.If you're not feeling creative, then this might help you. But, if you need to make a perfect villain or ally in your campaign, then stick with your own imagination and it might save you a few bucks! 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful:

Has its uses,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Enemies and Allies (Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition) (Paperback)
Not a bad product, but it could have been better. I like the visual candy a book offers, and i think it helps make the product more fun to read. With all the vaunted artwork WOTC has, this book has overall weak pictures with not a smidgen of color.Of course, all that aside, the content is fairly good. I particularly like the mind flayer assassin. There are groups of non-human parties that are somewhat strange, but i suppose they all fit the flavor of 3rd edition where weird is the norm. Not a mandatory book, and sort of on the thin side, but a resourceful DM can use it. |
