Index of Sample NPCs (Please Help)

Hmm. In my experience, the sample NPCs may have useful background info, but they are poorly optimized. They're not made like PCs would be made -- neither interestingly organic (and spread out) nor well focused.

I'd rather see them re-worked.

Cheers, -- N

As a side note, I'd like to see a matrix of associated / non-associated class levels based on PREVIOUS class levels, so I could assign CR more easily.

E.g.: Rogue associated: Fighter, Barbarian, Ranger, (lots of PrCs)
Barbarian associated: Ranger, Rogue, Cleric, first two levels of Fighter
Cleric associated: first level of Barbarian, first two levels of Fighter ;)
