NPC Statblocks (from the DMG NPCs?)

[LBeefus]

Anyone seen a utility that produces (or simply a list of) statblocks for NPCs at each level, as defined in the DMG tables? I can use the tables reasonably quickly while DMing if, say, I want a 6th level bard, but it'd be a lot nicer to have a list of stat-blocks for Bards 1 through 20, Clerics 1 through 20, etc.

Thx,
LBeefus

Honestly? No, not really. The options I see:

* Use Jamis' wonderful NPC gen. Sure, they're not exactly DMG, but they should be enough for your purposes. Plus, they're named!
* Use the DMG. It's not that hard to page through!
* PCGen http://pcgen.sourceforge.net/
* RPM http://www.enworld.org/roleplayingmaster/
* sb_gen http://mwtools.thyle.net/sb_gen.html
* cGen http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/ex20020218a#1

etc.

I don't know of anything that shows lists, but one of my TableSmith generators has all the DMG info in a delimited file, so it wouldn't be difficult to pull it out with another utility. I think I have it in XML format as well (somewhere...).

If you want the table, you can get it at www.mythosa.net/TabGallery.html. If you want the XML file, e-mail me and I'll see if I can find it.

Campaign Suite will let you create those bards, and print them out in DMG format, or tweak them in other ways. You could create a few hundred, if you liked. But, character list export isn't available in the free version, so it depends on what you want to invest into it, and what other features you might want down the road.
