'''NPC Overlays''' are abilities or modifications to an "any race" NPC for a specific race.
==Notes==
When applying ability score increases from a race, first reduce each ability score by 1 (to a minimum of 10), then apply the racial ability score bonuses.
If a race has proficiency with a skill and the NPC template has proficiency with the same skill, choose an additional skill that seems appropriate for the NPC.
If a race has proficiency with a weapon(s), they usually carry at least one of these.
To find proficiency for an NPC see [[SRD5:Monster#Proficiency Bonus by Challenge Rating|SRD5: Monster - Proficiency Bonus by Challenge Rating]]
==Dragonborn==
