So I loved the concept for the NPC Codex, but in all honesty, I was hoping for something that I could have a new player point to, play, and be on par with a decently built character of that level. As it stands they are decent chump NPCs of their level, but you couldn't be caught dead comparing those builds to any custom-made PC (and the 15 pt buy assumption is fair for MAD classes, but even the SAD builds in there are somewhat paltry).
I don't intend to start an argument about whether or not NPC codex classes are good enough, or what constitutes playable or optimized. Without reading too heavily into it, is there a supplement out there for more hardcore built NPCs that could hope to stand toe to toe with my PCs?
I am not asking for rage-lance-pounce mammoth-riding DPS Olympics or God wizards galore, but is there anywhere I might find a supplement that has Pathfinder PC classes statted out? I would even be happy with like a low, medium, and high version, rather than a levels 1-20.
The point of the codex is to have NPC's which are not normally built as well as PC's and never equipped as well so the odds are in the party's favor. Another issue is that different groups play at different levels, but modifying an NPC is easier and faster than starting from scratch.
