NPC Codex from Paizo

If you're looking for quick NPCs by the Paizo staff, you should definitely check out the NPC Codex.  Inside you'll find quick NPCs organized by Core Class and challenge rating.  There's also NPCs with prestige classes from the Core Rulebook.  Additionally it has their iconic characters' level progression so you can add them to any ongoing campaign or quick adventure.


The beginning sections of the book contain many characters of different Races from the Core Rulebook organized by their classes.  It has:

• The 11 Core Classes from the Core Rulebook
• Barbarian
• Bard
• Cleric
• Druid
• Fighter
• Monk
• Paladin
• Ranger
• Rogue
• Sorcerer
• Wizard
• The 9 Prestige Classes from the Core Rulebook
• Arcane Archer
• Assassin
• Dragon Disciple
• Duelist
• Eldrich Knight
• Loremaster
• Mystic Theurge
• Pathfinder Chronicler
• Shadow Caster
• And the 5 NPC Classes from the Core Rulebook
• Adept
• Aristocrat
• Commoner
• Expert
• Warrior

The end of the book contains these iconic characters:

• Amiri (Human Barbarian)
• Lem (Halfling Bard)
• Kyra (Human Cleric)
• Lini (Gnome Druid)
• Valeros (Human Fighter)
• Sajan (Human Monk)
• Seelah (Human Paladin)
• Harsk (Dwarf Ranger)
• Merisiel (Elf Rogue)
• Seoni (Human Sorcerer)
• Ezren (Human Wizard)

Unfortunately, it does not contain the Base Classes, Class Archetypes or Featured/Uncommon Races from the newer books such as the Advanced Player's Guide, Advanced Race Guide, Inner Sea World Guide, Ultimate Combat, Ultimate Magic and other published material.

Nevertheless, It's a great book to quickly grab NPCs from in a pinch and well worth the money as either a PDF or physical hardcover book.

You can buy it from Paizo directly as either a PDF or physical book for $9.99 or $39.99 respectively.

Or from Amazon as a physical book for $28.57.

My NPCs will use all available sources since they're all available in Hero Lab, so if you're looking for a specific NPC please feel free to make some requests!
