NPCs/Templates: City Guards and Blue Guard

NPCs/Templates: City Guards and Blue Guard

The content of this post wasn't made by me, but by my friend who is GMing a 2+-year long play-by-post fantasy game set in a magical metropolis. Mundane city guard templates can be used in almost any fantasy setting, and the reflavored Blue Guard may represent any specialized antimagic police force.

City Guards
Perhaps these templates look way too unrealistic or strong, but they seem to be fit for a video game inspired city guard – fighters ready to resist any threat, including the cocky PCs.
