[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 2175739, member: 463"] My current version of Henry's Quick NPC System is linked in my sig (and has been approved by Henry). :) The base idea is if you know what stats and skills are Good (for stats that's +2 bonus, for skills it's level+3 ranks) you can do most NPCs very quickly. It's not intended for creating the 20th level Wizard BBEG though; for that you can either: 1. Assume he has all the usual spells; Fireball, Mord's Disjunction etc, & wing it using the 3.0 DMG NPC stats. 2. Run Jamis Buck's NPC generator and just use the spell list (unless the whole NPC looks good), tweaking it for optimisation/plausibility, use Quick NPC for the rest. Use 3.0 DMG NPC for gear, adding/deleting items to individualise him. This can easily take 20 minutes. 3. Painstakingly design him from the ground up using PC rules & buy gear from the book. This will take ca 2 hours, for one NPC. [/QUOTE]
