The Watch

Ch5 GoF gives schedules for patrols, which vary depending on the quarter of the city they are encountered in. The major units of the Watch are these:

Standard Patrol: This is a group of 4-7 (1d4 + 3) Watchmen, all standard men-at arms, with a 50% chance of a junior sergeant as leader.

Elite Patrol: An elite patrol will be summoned if there is a large-scale disturbance, and back-up support (an additional standard patrol) may also accompany them if the disturbance is severe enough (as the DM decides). An elite squad con tains 5-8 (1d4 +4 ) men-at-arms, 1-2 junior sergeants, and a sergeant-at-arms.

Special Patrol Group: Special Patrol personnel are housed in the Citadel, and are only called out in times of really major disturbance (mass riot, multiple murder, a marauding monster in the city, magic use, etc.). The SPG is composed of six sergeants-at-arms, the two Deputy Constables of Greyhawk, and either Derider or Sental, plus a cleric of Heironeous, Pholtus, or similar deity level 5-8) and a member of the Guild of Wizardry (mage of level 5-8), these spellcasters being "loaned" to public duty on a rotating system from their temples and guilds.

Typical profiles for these people are given below.

If the Special Patrol Group has to be called out, the priest and mage accompanying will need individual design by the DM. An important note is that both spell casters will have several scrolls of disabling spells such as light, hold person, silence 15' radius, continual light, and the like from the priest, and magic missile, sleep, stinking doud, web, and slow from the mage. Each will be equipped with 2-5 (1d4 + 1) offensive magical items of moderate power, such as a wand of paralyzation for the mage.
