d100NPC Quirk

1Mind of a child. This NPC has the mind of a child.

that cause his skin to excrete a smell that is unmistakingly similar to the smell of dog shit.
3Nail biter. This NPC is biting his nails almost all the time. His/Her nails are very short as a result and
his/her fingers bleed every now and then.

eye or 3: Both.

7Loud thinker. This NPC thinks out loud most of the time. Intimate thoughts are usually still silent, but
every now and then a private thought might creep through.

scratching all the time.
14Brandy addict. This NPC is always looking for a bottle of his/her favorite rare brandy, but settles for
the cheap kind too.

matter how silly it looks or sounds.
23Pockmarks. This NPC has his/her face covered in the permanent impression that the pocks left.

31Neurotic Do-over. This NPC does everything twice. This includes talking, opening doors, handing
over objects, etc.
32Fantasy has Acne too! This NPC has acne. Yes, acne. It’s not just our problem, fantasy worlds have
Clearasil potions too!
33I can’t stop talking! This NPC can talk for hours on end. Usually telling the same thing over and over
again, this NPC has trouble seeing whether or not their listeners are interested at all.

result of a curse. Try to pick a word that your party actually uses.

himself.

49Beautiful. This NPC is incredibly beautiful, and the party will need to do a DC 10 charisma save to
not be completely flustered by this NPCs beauty.
50Ugly. The opposite of number 49. The party needs to do a constitution saving throw of DC 10, or
they’ll puke.
51Magically scarred. This NPC has a strange face. One eye is a lot bigger than the other, and his/her
mouth is above his/her nose. This seems to be the effect of a magical accident.
52Carrot Crazy. This NPC really, really loves carrots. He/She is constantly gnawing on a carrot, and
carries a whole bag of them with him/her.
53Cross-eyed. This NPC is cross eyed. Seems pretty self-explanatory to me.
54Peg-leg. This NPC has one wooden leg, just like the classic pirate captains used to have.
55Missing eyebrows. This NPC has no eyebrows. It’s really difficult to see what kind of expression he
or she is making, therefore players have disadvantage on wisdom (Insight) checks concerning this NPC.
56Musical Madness. This NPC likes to sing his/her way through life. Everybody kind of hates it, but the
high notes hang around like flies when this NPC is singing (which he/she does instead of talking).
57Scared of Little People. This NPC somehow is extremely scared of halflings, gnomes and dwarves.
He/She could very well be one of those races him/herself, but they’ll only hang around with larger
people. Why this NPC feels this way, I’m not sure. Maybe you know?
58Joker of the Town. This NPC thinks he/she is the funniest of the town/city. He/She always makes
the most terrible jokes and always ends them with: “Haha, I’m joking of course.”
59I wanted to be a ballerina. This NPC dislikes whatever occupation it has now. He/She always
wanted to be a dancer but never had the chance. He/She is actually pretty good at will dance during
conversations with the party if possible.
60Ni! This NPC can’t stand the word ‘it’. Whenever he or she hears it, he/she covers their ears and
screams “Ni!”

his/her surroundings and jumps in the air in fright from every little noise.
62Apocalypse Now. This NPC is constantly talking about the end of the world, which, according to
him/her, is just around the corner. Hide yo wife, hide yo kids!
63Slow Speaker. This NPC speaks at least twice as slowly as normal people do. All the while seemingly
oblivious to the annoyance it raises in others.
64Natural Born Trader. This NPC tries to sell you everything it can. “See this chair? It’s yours for just
two gold pieces! See this flower? Yours for a piece of silver, it’s really rare! See my wife/husband? It’s
yours for…”
65Not a care in the world. This NPC is unbelievably happy. They only see the good in life and are
extremely positive.
66Higher than thou. This NPC feels like the fucking king/queen of the country. They talk down to
almost everyone and use a (what they think is) a royal way of speaking.
67Just Married. This NPC just got married and can’t stop talking about their wife/husband.
68Peeyou. This NPC dislikes words that start with the letter P. Each time this NPC hears a word that
does indeed start with a P, he/she cringes in disgust.
69What’s this for? This NPC doesn’t use his left arm. He/She just leaves it hanging, doing nothing.
There’s nothing wrong with the arm, the NPC just doesn’t use it at all. For nothing.
70Classic Tammy. This NPC has underwear visible above his or her pants. It’s not that his/her pants
are really low, but his/her underwear is just really high. Roll a d4 to determine the state of the
underwear, 1: Clean, nothing special, 2: Dirty and torn, 3: Obviously way too tight, 4: Very sexy.
71First off: nonsense. This NPC starts every new sentence with one of the following d6 random words
(or one you come up with yourself of course); 1: Dangerzone, 2: Beelzebub, 3: Calipers, 4: Possessed,
5: Desire, 6: Synergy.
72Genderswap. This NPC likes to cross dress. Everytime the party leaves and sees this NPC again, they
switched clothing and makeup to the other gender.
73Weirdest Mutton Chops Ever. This NPC, whether it’s a he or a she doesn’t matter, has the weirdest
mutton chops anyone has ever seen. They are a different color than the rest of his/her hair and they
are somehow intricately braided.
74Final Countdown. This NPC counts down after each conversation. The NPC has a conversation with
the party, and when they or the NPC leave, the NPC utters: 73. When the party then asks: “What was
that?” The NPC will claim to not know what they are talking about, then leaves again saying: 72. Good
luck roleplaying this one.
75Grumpy face. This NPC has a face that says: “I hate everything. I hate hating everything.” Basically,
his or her face looks incredibly pissed off all the time, even though he or she might be very happy.
76Poker face. This NPC has a poker face. It’s nearly impossible to discern any emotions, all insight
checks on this NPC need to be made with disadvantage.
77To be or not to be. This NPC is desperately trying to become an actor/actress. He/She is not very
good at it though. In normal conversations this NPC sounds like he or she is talking on stage, it sounds
very fake and extremely articulated.
78Lip Licker. This NPC licks his lips, a lot. I mean really, this NPC licks his or her lips constantly. It’s
extremely unsettling.
79Shaving Sucks. This NPC is very bad at shaving. If it’s a man, he has a lot of small cuts on his face.
With a successful DC8 perception or insight check it’s pretty clear that they are the result of terrible
shaving. If the NPC is a woman, it is almost the same, but instead the cuts are located on her legs (Yes,
even in D&D some women shave their legs. Trust me!).
80Wild Accuser. This NPC accuses everyone he talks to of minor crimes, like littering, or making too
much noise.
81Am I hearing this right? This NPC mishears almost everything. He/She thinks he/she heard
everything right, and continues the conversation on whatever subject he/she thinks he/she heard. For
example: “Can you tell us where the Inn is?” The NPC hears: “Can you tell us where Theon is?” And
responds with: “I have no idea who that is, I’m sorry!” If you still want the NPC to be helpful, make
him/her understand every sentence correctly when he/she hears them a second time.
82Puppet Pal. This NPC always has a wooden puppet with him/her. Whatever his relationship with
this puppet is, is up to you as a DM. Good luck!
83Bless you! This NPC has a permanent cold. Always a runny nose and sneezing all the time.
84Broken down. This NPC has a broken limb. Roll a d4 to decide which: 1: Their good arm, 2: Their
other arm, 3: One leg, 4: Both legs and their good arm.
85Permanent Ink. This NPC has a large tattoo of an animal’s head on their neck. If you can’t think of
an animal yourself then it’s a chicken’s head.
86Loading, please wait. This NPC needs some time processing conversations. Whenever you talk to
him/her, it takes them 1d6 + 5 full seconds to respond. Even if it’s a short and simple question.
87Whispering guide. This NPC has a small creature hidden in their hair that whispers advice and
insight into their ear. The creature is a Sprite, which has the ability to turn invisible and sense if anyone
is lying by touching them.
88My brother, there art thou! This NPC is convinced that one of the party members is their long lost
brother or sister. He or she will not be easily convinced of the contrary.
89Shapeshifter. This NPC is actually a doppler. The players might notice subtle changes in the NPC’s
physical attributes each subsequent visit, like a smaller nose, another eye colour or an extra feet in
height.
90Lilac and Gooseberries. This NPC smells like lilac and gooseberries, a particular smell that might be
familiar to some of the players.
91Mouthful. This NPC always has something in his/her mouth. It could be food… but they never
swallow. And it's too big to be chewing gum. It makes this NPC very hard to understand.
92The Narrator. This NPC always speaks about him or herself in the third person, and he or she
narrates everything that happens in their vicinity.
93Narcissist. This NPC is always holding a mirror, looking at him or herself while blowing kisses and
winking. It looks away now and then to look at the party but he or she mostly looks at themselves.
94Needlessly Shifty. This NPC comes across as very shifty. He or she laughs sneakily after answering
questions or making deals, like he or she is hiding something. But they aren't, it's just a weird
mannerism they were born with.
95Fungal infection. This NPC has a small growth of blue green fungus on one of their cheeks. Under
close scrutiny the fungus almost seems to pulsate with every heartbeat.
96Squinter. This NPC squints their eyes at the party. It looks like he/she needs a pair of glasses.
97Mad hatter. This NPC wears a really long, really silly pointy hat. It's over 3 feet (1 meter) tall, made
up of different kinds of materials and colors. Possible explanation for why the NPC is wearing it: 1.
Their kid made it for them and now they are pretty much obligated to wear it. 2. They made it
themselves because they believe it will make them a really powerful wizard. 3. It is a cursed hat that
can't be removed and someone put it on their head while they were sleeping.
98Sketch artist. This NPC is scribbling on a piece of paper while he or she is talking to the party. After
a while they proudly show the sketch they made of one of the party members. Roll 1d6/2 to see how
good this NPC is. 1: Very, very bad. 2: Extremely average. 3: Very, very good.
99Want a cookie? This NPC bakes their own cookies and offers to anyone and everyone to try. Roll
1d6/2 to determine the quality. 1: Terrible, bitter and is that a hair? 2: Average, OK cookies. 3: These
are amazing, crunchy, sweet and something you can't quite put your finger on but it's awesome.
100Juggler. This NPC is an excellent juggler and will juggle everytime he or she has two or more items
in his or her hands. Their limit is 1d6 + 3 items at once.
