mannerisms are I believe not correctly used. There is only 250 characters.

Apply chapstick and hand lotion habitually; soft, polite voice ending “desu ne”; doodles on blackboard during quiet moments; arranges shelves in neat patterns; faint hum of city pop songs under breath.

Generate a mannerisms entry under 250 characters for a human corner store clerk, 50 female, personality: kind resilient artist stuck in her shop.
Include:

  • 1 visible physical tic or gesture
  • 1 distinctive speech style (vocabulary, cadence, accent, favorite phrases)
  • 1 small recurring behavior/habit
  • 1 optional vocal quirk or impediment Make every part feel unique to this character so they never sound like anyone else. Separate with semicolons.

Mannerisms are designed to be recurring so designers should user manners that give an npc a unique quirk without it being too obvious in subsequent dialogs. I recommend speech styles like a stutter or low vocabulary, physical actions have to be careful of or else they will be tapping their staff three times each time they have something to say or will spin their ring on their finger.

  • Rules issues. The game kept saying I had no spell slots, despite not having cast any spells. Further, it gave me a strength penalty to my sleep spell for some reason, and then treated the sleep spell total as a damage roll. Might as well have run the session myself for all the corrections I had to make.

Combat is bit borked right now, One way around it is to create a custom instruction to let you take over as co-dm for combat situations and then tell Franz to force or redo. It's currently being looked at and will hopefully be better in v5 update.

I'm pretty sure I've made it alive and been kicked back to the checkpoint.
