Social / NPC Interaction

1. Load NPC context

bash tools/gm-context.sh "[npc]" + bash tools/gm-npc.sh status "[name]". Surface the NPC's goal, current_mood, secret-EXISTENCE (never the text), bonds, and voice (gm-npc.sh voice). Check prior interactions + active quests.

2. Attitude

Friendly (helpful, warm) · Neutral (professional, cautious) · Hostile (dismissive, cold). Derive from history + bonds.

3. Social mechanics — when to roll

Skill	DC (Friendly / Neutral / Hostile)	Use
Persuasion	10 / 15 / 20	Change their mind
Deception	10 / 15 / 20 (plausible→outrageous)	Hide truth
Intimidation	10 / 15 / 20 (weak→strong-willed)	Force compliance
Insight	opposed vs Deception, or DC 10-20	Read them

Modifiers: unreasonable request +5 DC; good rapport -2 DC. No roll needed: public info, normal commerce at listed prices, casual talk, giving things freely.

4. Persist NPC memory

bash tools/gm-npc.sh update "[name]" "[what happened]" and bash tools/gm-npc.sh mood "[name]" "[new mood]" — reactions compound across sessions.

5. Consequences

Positive (NPC helps later) / negative (NPC hinders) → bash tools/gm-consequence.sh add "[event]" "[trigger]" [--trigger-type on_npc --match "[name]"].

Reward a social win (award spectacle XP)

A real social victory — a hard persuasion landed, a daring bluff, turning a hostile NPC, talking your way past a threat — EARNS progress like a kill. Persist it before the payoff: bash tools/gm-player.sh award --tier minor|major|legendary --reason "..." (kit-aware, level-scaled, co-awards followers in DCC). See gm-craft → Reward the spectacle.

Craft (see gm-craft)

NPCs have agendas, not quests. Don't over-share — secrets revealed slowly are 10x better. NPCs can say no, lie, or give bad advice. End with a conversation-ender if they're done.

gm-combat

Sstobo/Claude-Code-Game-Master

D&D-kit combat mechanics — initiative, attack/damage resolution, XP-by-CR awards, combat modifiers, and death saves. Load when a hostile action is declared or combat starts in a campaign whose World Kit is dnd5e. For non-D&D kits, use the generic core (game_core.py) and the active ruleset instead.

gm-craft

Sstobo/Claude-Code-Game-Master

The Art of Game Mastering — narration, NPC, pacing, and improvisation wisdom that makes a session feel magical. Load when narrating a scene, voicing an NPC, or pacing a beat. This is the product's soul; internalize it, then play.

gm-dungeon

Sstobo/Claude-Code-Game-Master

Dungeon exploration — lightweight (narrative, default) vs structured (per-room JSON) modes, exit/obstacle handling, and ASCII map symbols. Load when the party enters a cave, ruin, or underground complex.

gm-skills

Sstobo/Claude-Code-Game-Master

Skill-check resolution — when to roll, the DC ladder, fail-forward philosophy, and margin-based consequences. Load whenever the player attempts something uncertain ("I try to..."). Resolution runs through the generic core (d20 vs DC); this is the judgment framework for when/how.

2026-06-09135

gm-conditions

Sstobo/Claude-Code-Game-Master

Status conditions and exhaustion reference (blinded, charmed, frightened, grappled, paralyzed, poisoned, prone, restrained, stunned, unconscious, etc.). Load when applying or resolving a condition. Persist via gm-condition.sh (PC) / gm-npc.sh condition (party) / gm-combat.sh condition (enemies).

2026-06-07135

gm-levelup

Sstobo/Claude-Code-Game-Master

D&D-kit leveling — XP thresholds, the level-up ceremony, hit dice by class, and ASI/feat/subclass handling. Load when gm-player.sh xp reports LEVEL_UP in a dnd5e-kit campaign. Non-D&D kits advance via their ruleset progression model (milestone / resource-axis), not this table.
