[QUOTE="Orius, post: 4499365, member: 8863"] I've gone with the basic assumption that in a community, about 10% of the NPCs have a PC class. Depending on the community, clerics and bards are about 10% of that population each, wizards maybe 2-5%, with fighters and rogues making up most of the rest. There's a small percentage of NPCs in the other PC classes. In smaller communities, some of the demographics tend to skew more heavility toward stuff like barbarians, rangers, druids, and sorcerers. The Web Enhancement for the 3.5 DMG that had tables for building city neighborhoods had class breakdowns that worked very well with my assumptions. For levels, I then assume about half are 1st level. Half of the remainder is 2nd level, half of that reaminer is 3rd, and so on. I also have some high level NPCs generated from the NPC tables in the DMG. I don't really know how realistic it is, and I don't really care, since it usually works okay. [/QUOTE]
