Beggars and Panhandlers

Shiny knights. Bugbear bandits. Elder clerics of dark deities. NPCs that are memorable, dangerous and remarkable in all ways. There are so many resources to help an aspiring Game Master build the ultimate antagonist or the formidable ally.
But when it comes to the more mundane, central places of your campaign, you might realize, that you seldom have more information to offer your players than “a beggar”, “the barkeep”, or “the dwarven smith”.

You might have noticed that when you describe this extra-sneaky spy, that should appear totally mundane, but your players size him up instantly. This is because he looks more fleshed out than the other mundane people in your world.
In this book, we start with a dozen beggars and panhandlers to help you breathe some life in your city’s busy streets.
