Adversary Statblocks

Keeper's numbers. Combat statistics for named adversaries, kept off the public pages (which carry only the narrative). These are reconstructed from play, not official blocks — treat them as a Keeper's working reference and adjust to your table.

The folk of the city wear their deeds in prose out front; their fighting numbers live here, where the players cannot see them. Add new adversaries to this page as they are statted, and keep the public Faces pages free of mechanics.

Note

Per house rule, all NPC/adversary combat statistics live here in The Veil, never on the public Faces pages. When a new adversary is statted from play, add a block above and keep their public page to narrative only.
