  To print your NPC Deck, set your double-
  sided printer to short-edge binding and 
  print on a cardstock material. Then, with 
  a sharp utility knife and straight edge, 
  use the crop marks as guides to trim the 
  cards apart.
  If you don’t have a double-sided printer, 
  print the pages individually and then 
  glue them back-to-back with a thin, even 
  coat of adhesive. Before glueing, hold the 
  back-to-back sheets up to a light source 
  to ensure they are lining up correctly.
  The gutters between the cards give you a 
  little bit of leeway if the two sides do not 
  line up exactly.
  
  CYPHER SYSTEM™ NPC DECK
  Breathe life into your nonplayer characters (NPCs) with 
  details of their appearance, personality, abilities, and 
  possessions. Create a role to fill—shop owner or mobster, 
  for example—and assign them a level. Then use this deck 
  to fill in details and inspire you in one of three ways:
  • 
  Draw or choose a card and use it as-is. Each card 
  gives you a first and last name (as well as a fantasy 
  name alternative); details of appearance, demeanor, 
  and personality; modifications to the NPC’s level; 
  and a distinguishing feature or item. 
  • 
  Draw several cards and mix and match elements. 
  There are millions of possible combinations.
  • 
  Draw or choose a card, and tailor your NPC as 
  needed with your own ideas. Grab a card and 
  alter the appearance, demeanor, personality, or 
  modifications to make it your own.

  UNDERSTANDING THE NPC DECK
  Name (Fantasy Name): The NPC’s name, 
  followed in parentheses with a “fantasy name” 
  equivalent. 
  Appearance: The most striking physical aspect 
  of the NPC. 
  Demeanor: The most striking aspect of the 
  NPC’s behavior. 
  Personality: A defining character trait of the NPC.
  Modifications: Once you set the NPC’s level, use 
  these numbers to modify the level for particular 
  tasks. For example, a level 4 NPC might have a 
  modification that says “defends +1,” which means 
  PCs attacking them must reach a target number 
  of 15 (for difficulty 5) instead of 12 (for difficulty 4). 
  Distinguishing Feature/Item: A memorable 
  physical trait or item possessed by the NPC. If 
  a trait or item is marked in parentheses, it is 
  a fantasy-world equivalent for the listing. For 
  example, “keycard (or golden key)” indicates that 
  in a fantasy campaign, instead of a keycard, you 
  should substitute a golden key.
