UPDATE: Version 2.0 now complete with all PH2 classes!
Now that the Player's Handbook 2 has been out for a while, I am working on NPCs again. I considered doing a sequel to my Book of NPCs, but decided that it was much better to have all the NPCs in one book. Therefore, I am doing an upgrade rather than a sequel, adding the PHB2 classes to the PHB1 classes for one big download.
As I did with the Book of NPCs 1.0, I will make several passes to add the NPCs. The current version (2.0) has all the Players Handbook 1 & 2 classes plus all the races from Players Handbook 1 & 2 and the Monster Manual, for levels 1-30.
Downloads - D&D 4th Edition - Book of NPCs - EN World D&D / RPG News
Because there are no official rules for PHB2 NPCs yet, I had to make some educated guesses for what roles and features to use for these NPCs. Here is what I am currently going with:
As usual, any feedback is appreciated.
EDIT: Version 2.0! All PHB2 classes included!
