Simple mechanics question... I am using this site to create a campaign and figured out how to make the encounters and such but cannot figure out how to include an NPC in an encounter? I created a character within the campaign creation but want to include a number of guards with the NPC as an encounter... how do I do that?

Currently you cannot. You would have to recreate your NPC as a monster using that homebrewer and then include them in the encounter that way. As I understand they are working on something for us, but currently there is no way to do it.

Is the NPC meant to enter combat? If not, you could just put only the guards in the encounter.
Excellent... I will create them as monsters. Yes, they are to enter combat... main antagonists. Thank you!
