Book of NPCs 2.0

Wonderful stuff! I was actually just thinking that I needed to put together some NPCs for my current campaign and here they are for me. ;)
Thanks!

Really looking forward to sorcerors!

Let me assure you that I would have given you an experience point a second time if only I could! (Yes I know it's theoretically possible, but handing out xp to 49 other posters just for this reason simply isn't practical)

Let us know when the Book is complete - I for one is holding back on the download until such time.
 

This is absolutely awesome and a great resource for one-shot games or one-on-one games. I can't thank you enough.

How long did it take to put this together?
 




Thanks everyone for the compliments.

How long did it take to put this together?

It probably took a week to put together the initial code base. The first few classes were about 12 hours each, but now I have it down to about 6 hours per class. It helps that I am using the same code to create characters sheets for my regular game (I am a Mac user, so Character Builder is no good to me).

I am going to try to knuckle down and finish this up this weekend. It would be nice to get everything done in the month of May.
 

UPDATE: Version 2.0 now complete with all PH2 classes!

I made both barbarians and wardens into brutes. For barbarians, it makes sense because they are high-damage, low defense. Surprisingly, wardens are not sure a good fight, but I did it anyway since wardens are supposed to have more hit points.

Let me know if you find any mistakes in the NPCs, and I will correct them. I will leave this alone for now, until PH3 comes out (I might do a minor update with the MM2 races).
 

First of all, thank you very much for this great project! I do agree with others who have mentioned that's the single, most useful for 4E.

My only question/query is if you plan to include the different building for the classes that appear in the Power series (martial, divine, arcane, primal, etc). I asked because I could really use some builds like the battlerager fighter, for example.

Thank you once again and best regards,

Sturm.
