Frequently Asked Questions
How do difficulty levels affect rewards?
Easy quests reward 50-200 gp, Medium 200-500 gp, Hard 500-2000 gp with magic items, and Deadly 2000-10000 gp with multiple magic items. Higher difficulties also have more complications.
What are complications?
Complications are unexpected challenges that make quests more interesting. They range from minor (bad weather) to critical (betrayal). Higher difficulty quests have more and worse complications.
What is the secret twist?
About 30% of quests have a secret twist - a hidden element that changes the nature of the quest. These are meant for GM eyes only and can dramatically alter the story.
How should I use quest hooks?
Quest hooks are the initial story that draws players in. Use them as-is or adapt them to your campaign. The hook should intrigue players and give them a reason to accept the quest.
Can I customize the generated quests?
Absolutely! These quests are starting points. Feel free to change names, locations, rewards, or any other details to fit your campaign world and player preferences.
