Revision as of 16:10, 11 March 2009

This is a listing of various unnamed npcs and their alignments according to Detect Alignment, by area. Of the npcs that have a range of possible alignments and come in groups, they don't necessarily group with others of similar alignments. For example, if a merchant has two bodyguards, one may be 11 degrees good and the other 5 degrees evil. "At least" means that a range may extend further in either direction.

Also, similar npcs in different areas aren't necessarily the same. Crows in the terrains are evil, while the ones in Ankh-Morpork are neutral, for example.

Colour code for the bullet points (based on the most common alignment or the middle of the range (if the range is evenly distributed)):

♦: Unpredictable alignment/very wide range/unknown alignment

   ♦: Same, but indented.

♦: More than five degrees evil

   ♦: Same, but indented.

♦: One to five degrees evil

   ♦: Same, but indented.

♦: Neutral or narrow range centered on neutral

   ♦: Same, but indented.

♦: One to five degrees good

   ♦: Same, but indented.

♦: More than five degrees good

   ♦: Same, but indented.

Roads

There are specific types of npcs that wander the roads, but you'll also find that some npcs from the surrounding terrains will show up on them--chipmunks, crows, grass wolves, hunters, and such will show up on the roads in the Sto Plains, for example. Bandits (also known as brigands and outlaws) roam the roads at night and early morning, and will attack on sight, making the roads somewhat dangerous at those times. Road npcs are:

Through Sto Plains

♦ Bandits: Usually neutral. At least one has been 5 degrees good, though. These wander the roads at night (and early morning, before the sun's up) singly and in groups, and attack travelers.

♦ Bodyguards: vary. These accompany merchants, traders, and dealers. Their alignments vary from at least 40 degrees evil to at least 39 degrees good. They seem to be more likely to be good than evil.

♦ Brigands: Usually neutral. Same as bandits; will attack on sight.

♦ Cooking monsters: Neutral. These are trolls, and they sell food.

♦ Dealers: neutral. Sometimes come alone, sometimes come with bodyguards (generally one to three) that will protect them. Sometimes have items for sale.

♦ Dwarf warriors: Seem to range from 2 degrees evil to 2 degrees good. The "old" dwarf warriors may all be neutral.

♦ Fighters: Seem to range from 2 degrees evil to 2 degrees good. Often come in groups and may assist each other. They're about as likely to be neutral as to be at all evil, and a bit more likely to be neutral or evil than to be at all good.

♦ Journeyman blacksmiths: Range from at least 4 evil to 27 good.

♦ Journeyman carpenters: Range from at least 42 evil to 45 good.

♦ Knights: 1 degree good (even the "holy" knights). Usually come in small groups.

♦ Merchants: Neutral. Same as dealers.

♦ Outlaws: Usually neutral. Same as bandits; will attack on sight.

♦ Traders: Neutral. Same as dealers.

♦ Wandering labourers: Range from at least 47 degrees evil to 46 degrees good.

♦ Youths: Range from at least 12 good to 33 evil.

Through Ramtops

♦ Farmers: Neutral.

♦ Gnolls: Neutral.

♦ Hikers: Neutral.

♦ Pebbles: Neutral. (These are trolls.)

♦ Ramblers: Neutral.

♦ Trappers: Neutral.

♦ Travellers: Neutral.

♦ Trolls: Neutral.

♦ Truffle-hunters: Neutral.

♦ Tourists: Neutral.

♦ Wanderers: Neutral.

♦
♦
♦ Witches: Also "crones" or "hags". The ones with cheerful descriptions (leering, jolly, flighty, scatterbrained) are 1 degree good, the ones with descriptions that mention constant muttering (the mad or midnight ones) are 2 degrees evil, and the others (sour, stern, po-faced, stubborn, prim) are neutral.

Terrains

Rangers are found throughout the mountains, Skund Forest, and sometimes the plains. Unlike most terrain npcs, however, their alignments vary widely--from extremely evil to extremely good (at least), and everything in-between. There doesn't seem to be any correlation between alignment and description (mysterious, lean, etc.) or equipment. Therefore, if you want to kill them for alignment purposes, it's necessary to check them individually.

Klatch

Ephebian desert

♦ Desert foxes: Neutral.

♦ Desert lions: Neutral. These attack, but don't pursue. Very common.

♦ Horned Vipers: Range from at least 2 degrees good to 4 degrees evil. Neutral and 1 degree good seem to be the most common alignments.

♦ Lizards: Range from at least 3 degrees good to 2 degrees evil. About half seem to be neutral.

♦ Scorpions: Range from at least 2 degrees good to 1 degree evil.

♦
♦ Vultures: Range from at least neutral to 7 degrees evil. Neutral ones seem the most common.

Garlic farm

♦
♦ Farmers: Neutral or 1 degree evil.

Melon farm

Savanna

Most things in this area are neutral. Grassy plains in Klatch seem to have the same npc types as the savanna.

♦ Elephants: 3 degrees good.

♦ Giraffes: Neutral.

♦ Lions, lionesses, and lion cubs: all neutral.

♦ Rogue bull elephants: These are rare, and seem to be the only savanna creature that will attack unprovoked. Probably evil.

♦ Scorpions: These seem to have alignments ranging from neutral to 2 degrees good.

♦ Vultures: These have various alignments; the range seems to be from neutral to 5 degrees evil. You can get vultures of different alignments in the same group.

Ramtops

Deciduous forests

It seems likely that the deciduous and evergreen forests in the Ramtops actually have the same mix of npcs--barring the npc trees--but I'm keeping them separate for now since I haven't seen every single Ramtops forest npc in both areas.

SUR/Sto Plains

The small birds found in these areas (blackbirds, redwings, finches, thrushes, and to a lesser extent quails and meadowhawks) have a tendancy to fly off if you wait in the room with them for too long.

Beach (Circle Sea)

The Circle Sea beach has its own npcs, but as on the roads, you'll also sometimes see npcs from the surroundng area wander in. Here, you'll see:

♦ Crabs: 2 degrees evil. They come singly and in small or medium-sized groups.

♦ Fishermen: neutral.

♦ Seagulls: 3 or 4 degrees evil. These are less desirable targets, as they tend to fly off.

Cabbage fields and plains

The area surrounding Ankh-Morpork and the cities around it. Npcs you'll find here:

♦ Badgers: 1 degree good.

♦ Blackbirds: 9 degrees good.

♦ Wild boars: 6 degrees evil. Sometimes these will attack.

Forest (not Skund)

There are small forested areas in the middle of the plains. The wolves here may or may not attack on sight (possibly wolves by themselves won't attack while groups will). They may or may not actually have a different npc mix than Skund forest. Npcs found here include:

♦ Bears: 1 degree evil.

♦ Bear cubs: 8 or 9 degrees good. Obviously you can't kill cubs without the adult bears protecting them. The adults may also attack you if you hug their cubs--it's possible this depends on your alignment.

♦ Owls: 3 degrees evil.

♦ Toads: 4 degrees evil.

♦ Oreads: 1 degree evil. They can also heal themselves and make themselves stronger during a fight.

♦ Pure white bird (Caladrius): 10 degrees good, and will heal you if you find them while injured. Apparently you can't kill them, but just attacking will make you more evil.

♦ Quails: 3 degrees good.

♦ Rabbits: 10 degrees good.

♦ Rangers: Vary.

♦ Silver birches: 12 degrees evil.

♦ Vixens: 2 degrees evil.

♦ Wolves: 10 degrees evil. Unlike the ones in Skund Forest, these seem to come alone, and don't seem to attack unprovoked.

Skund forest

The wolves here tend to come in groups, will attack on sight, and are fairly tough and fast, making this area dangerous for lower-level characters. Npcs in this area include:

♦ Bears: 1 degree evil.

Cities and towns

Ankh-Morpork

♦ Bankers: Neutral, 2 degrees evil.

♦ Beggers: Neutral (both rich and poor).

♦ Bodyguards: Neutral. Usually accompany traders, dealers, and merchants.

♦ Opera singers: Neutral.

♦ Palace guards: 3 or 4 good.

♦ Pigeons: Neutral.

♦ Priests and priestesses: These vary by deity. Men or women who are called "zealous", "godly", "prayerful", "pious", "believing", "holy", "religious", or "pietistic" are also priests and priestesses (and if you look at them, their descriptions will identify which deity they worship). Attacking any of them can bring the entire God Squad down on you (see God Squad) unless you kill them quickly enough or unless the God Squad's dead. The ones that are explicitly named priests and priestesses don't always have their deities' names in their descriptions, but they can still be easily identified by looking at their holy amulets or symbols (or Major Shield/Minor Shield, since they usually have one up), and tend to say their deity's name, if you wait. By deity:

   ♦ Pishe: 25 degrees good.

   ♦ Gufnork: 5 to 9 degrees good, usually 6 or 7.

   ♦ Gapp: 2 or 3 degrees good, usually 3.

   ♦ Sek: 20, 23, 26, or 28 degrees evil.

♦ Rats: Neutral.

♦ Sailors: Usually neutral, can also be 1-3 degrees good or 1-2 degrees evil. (1 degree good and evil are more frequent than more extreme alignments, but much less frequent than neutral.)

♦ Sailors that are called something else. Captains, crewmen, deckhands, first mates, helmsmen, seafarers, and skippers are also sailors, but these varieties are 2 or 3 degrees good--more often 3.
