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.
