Instinct

Between sessions, consider writing an instinct for your NPC. Write them in this format: "to [do something]."

If the NPC is…

• … a monster or threat), their instinct should bring them into conflict with others.
• … a follower, their instinct should cause trouble for the PC who leads them.
• … anyone else, their instinct should reflect their basic outlook and how they approach the world.

Use an NPC's instinct to guide how they behave and react. If you're unsure what an NPC would do, look to their instinct. Have them do that.

After the session, I think about Elios a bit and write this instinct for him: To complain but get the job done.
