Pathfinder NPC Generator (Free)


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion

The Exchange

I've just released a Pathfinder NPC Generator.

You can have a play around with it on:
http://www.dinglesgames.com/tools/NPCGenerator/pathfinder/

It's not quite completed but all the basic classes, skills and feats are there. I'm still in the process of updating all the monsters from 3.5 to pathfinder (and adding in the new ones).
NB: Once you have added in any extra feats and magic items press the "Recalculate" button to update the stats.

Please let me know what you think of it..., and if you find any errors, it's still in the beta test at present.

Looks good. Will you be selling the subscription direct in the US in dollars rather than GB pounds? My credit card charges a fortune to convert the currency?

Shadow Lodge

The brown bear lich thanks you for your invention.


Full Plate is +9 AC in PF.

RPG Superstar 2015 Top 8

This is AWESOME. Thank you.

I noticed the magic items are mostly 3.5 (e.g., there is a "Belt of Strength" but not one of "Physical Might" etc.) But I reckon that'll take some time to update.

Scarab Sages

It looks like a very nice start.

There were a number of issues with the Bone Devil that I generated however (no other tweaks to the fields) and I suspect it's due to the use of SRD data.

For example, the sheet said there was only one primary attack, but the Bone Devil in PF has three: bite, claws, and stinger. In addition the poison effects mentioned "primary" and 'secondary" damage, vestiges from 3.5. The last thing I noticed was that the "summon devil" ability is the 3.5 version, not the PF version.

That must just be for the monsters though, as the bbn2 I just created had the proper PF aspects.

I'll have a look into adding a US dollars subscription. At the moment a pound is just about a dollar.

Thanks for pointing this out. I'm not playing Pathfinder at the moment so am not spotting these kind of mistakes.

Very nice, I'm sure a lot of hours went into this :)

I did notice alot of new magic items in Pathfinder, I do intend adding them into the generator.

Thanks, I decided to release it a bit early as for quite a few monsters it should work fine, but for the big CR monsters I will need to do more work.

The wording of the attacks probably needs to change. The calculations, however, should be correct, i.e attack and damage. I've only started ammeding the skills and feats of the monsters, I was hoping the special abilites were remaining the same. But it looks as if I've got more work cut out for me there.

Calm down, I just followed the link in the first post and the NPC generator is still free.

There is a request to make a donation to the program's creator, but it still appears to be optional. (Or I was able to generate a NPC without donating.)


Thanks to this, I have the stats for an Advanced Giant Bee Sorcerer. It is literally a Giant Bee That Shoots Frikken' Lasers. Dear gods, what have I done?

Hmmm... the Plain Text output of this generator seems a little wacky, particularly how it lists the effects of every spell this thing has.

Typical tactics for this thing would be to hover 30-40 feet in the air and fire off Protection from Arrows, then lob ray attacks at anything that can still manage to attack it. If forced into melee, or given more prep time, it drops Mage Armor and Shield, substantially boosting it's AC. If it runs out of rays, the Bee can use it's extra reach from the aberrant bloodline to sting characters while hovering out of their reach.
