I also keep it simple for those the PCs will encounter in numbers.Although your classes are nice selections, IMHO grips with those classes would be bosses or sub-bosses. Instead, I would make them all rangers, with some feats instead of classes.1) Grab the stat block for a standard gripplie, add all things that will be the same (basic gear, etc) copy/paste2) Level it to 3rd level ranger, save3) Give one some unarmed attack feats (monk), give another some unique potions (alchemist), give another a mount / ride skill points (cavalier), and level another to level 5 ranger. Remember, no one sees the stat blocks - to the players, they see an unarmed grippli, one drinking elixers, and one riding a mount.4) If you really need to, make one the old way, make it a commander, etcFor example, I made a more powerful orc race for my campaign, orcs from an alternate prime material plane. I made:1) base Orceri2) level 2 warrior3) level 2 warrior / level 2 rogue4) level 4 warrior / level 2 rogue5) level 4 sorcerer6) level 5 adeptThe first 4 built on each other, so each required just a few number changes. This way, instead of an hour on one npc, its an hour and a half on 6 of um.I find I can make tons of critters really quick.You also could always find a human monk, cavalier, and alchemist, find them pre-made online, then add the grippli stats.Getting fast and efficient made my prep much more enjoyable! I would rather thing about NPC personas for RP and plots than work on math.</blockquote>
