NPCs

Overview

Characters that can be found wandering around inside dungeons.
They're represented as a yellow dot on the map, and turn hostile when attacked.
Up to 3 NPCs can appear on any given floor, and are included in the 20 character limit.

Characteristics:

  • Slow movement (excluding Sage and Sparrow), and 100 HP.
  • Can swap places with Shiren and ally characters.
  • Day monsters won't attack them, but night monsters will.
  • They always dodge thrown weapons and shields.

Ally characters can also appear as wandering NPCs, and can be recruited by talking.
They never turn hostile, no matter what you actions you take against them.
