Index of Sample NPCs (Please Help)

[Ogrork the Mighty]

I was wondering if there's any interest out there in compiling a master list of all the different sample NPCs found in the official WotC books? Specifically, I was thinking along the lines of Name, Race, Class/Prestige Class, Level, Alignment, Page #. The point would be a master list of pre-generated NPCs all statted and ready to go.

So, for example, I've done Frostburn (simply b/c I have it on hand) below:

Frostburn
CR 11; Thuu Verrek, halfling, monk 6/cloud anchorite 5, LN, Frostburn p. 55
CR 7; Ballarak Shardcraver, dwarf, psion (kineticist) 5/cryokineticist 2, LN, Frostburn p. 56
CR 13; Naush, frost giant, disciple of Thrym 4, CE, Frostburn p. 58
CR 15; Kurnayata, elf, wizard 5/frost mage 10, N, Frostburn p. 60
CR 11; Korrek Neversleep, half-orc, barbarian 6/frostrager 5, CN, Frostburn p. 62
CR 9; Tharakus, human, paladin 6/knight of the iron glacier 3, LG, Frostburn p. 64
CR 11; Gruth, neanderthal, barbarian 8/primeval 3, CN, Frostburn p. 67
CR 19; Skycornice, uldra, cleric 9/rimefire witch 10, NG, Frostburn p. 69
CR 8; Sarxen, gnome, bard 5/stormsinger 3, CN, Frostburn p. 71
CR 17; Chesko Vaul, human, cleric 7/winterhaunt of Iborighu 10, NE, Frostburn p. 74

What do ya think? If everyone chips in, it shouldn't take long at all!

No interest?

A master list sorted by CR could be useful. Add CR as the first item on the line, and all it takes is a bunch of cut & pastes and a sort function to compile a master list from all the partial lists. The book name would also have to be added before the page number. Here's Races of Stone:

CR 13: Akala Fishstringer Kulie-Kamana, goliath barbarian 12, CG (Races of Stone, p. 76)

I think it would be better if someone made these npcs available in the NPC Wiki...

...and if direct copy is violation of copyright, then name changes and edits to any background info (if background info is even included). A line saying, "this character is similar to the xxxx character found in XXXX book p.##", especially when the NPC's modeled in this way make use of certain rules located in such books.

The link to the wiki is here: http://d20npcs.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page

IMO, stripmining products of such material (even if you slightly adjust the parts that are legally a hurdle) is only going to send a message to publishers not to produce material that can be stripmined. I've got an NPC product in production and am loathe to release it as an unlocked PDF because of the possibility that someone might cut and paste it to the NPC Wiki. However, locking it or using some other form of protection lessens its usefulness as a tool for DMs who like to copy and paste bits into other documents they are building. What do you suggest I do?

Is it possible to make NPC stats closed content, or do they count as derived works?

I had actually thought of this, and that is why I worded my post accordingly. I actually agree with your insight. However, I do believe that the 'flavor text' is the part that is proprietary, and that the basic stats are the portions that people want to be able to cut/paste for their own use (and as I see it, fair use and the intended function of producing statblocks - to use). I have never used npcs, monsters, settings, etc. 'as-is' without modifying to suit my own goals.

I will further modify my comment: Please post the stats, minus any specific backgrounds, proprietary personalities, or other potential violations of copyright. I do sympathize with authors of such material - but the basic stats are just plain useful data.

I think the OP's idea was an index for people who already owned the books. Copying them to a wiki is:

1. Legally iffy,
2. A lot more work,
3. Something entirely different,
4. And really belongs in a separate thread.

Here's Complete Divine:

CR 11, Durgen Stonespike, dwarf cleric 7/warpriest 4, LG (Complete Divine, p. 76)

I'm surprised how many divine spellcasters don't have gods.
