See Chapter 9 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide to apply the racial traits to your NPCs, and the Monster Manual for those traits’ descriptions. o
For example, an outland veteran can be used as a human tribal warrior, or orc plunderer.

If you want to be more careful in preserving the challenge rating of the NPC, you can consider the ability modifier to be minimum requirements rather than alterations to the stats. For example, an ability modifier of +2 Dexterity can also mean the NPC you select should have a minimum Dexterity of 12.
•
Other attributes can be applied which do not affect Challenge Rating, such as proficiency in a

skill.

None of the NPCs in this document teeter on the
John-Paul Balmet
edge of being of a higher or lower Challenge rating, so minor alterations, even ones such as a +1 to a primary ability score, likely will not make a statistically significant difference in Challenge Rating, though you still might notice a difference in combat effectiveness in such cases. •
Other than that, the NPC statblocks have been left intentionally ‘vanilla’ so they can fulfill any number of roles.
