NPC Advice: Rook

Narrative Role

Rooks embody stability and fortification. They are the protectors, guardians, or defenders of specific places—think fortress captains, temple guards, or imposing gatekeepers.
In a story, they are obstacles to progress. Players must deal with rooks to access restricted areas, obtain key items, or bypass fortified positions.

Combat Role

Rooks excel in defensive combat, often as tanks with high health or armor.
They guard choke points, defend objectives, or hold a line while others attack.
A rook can be stationary, such as a turret or magic statue, or slow-moving but relentless.

Examples

Golems, castle guards, siege beasts, shieldbearers, living statues.
