For a quick walk through of how to get the best out of the NPC generator, watch the screencast.
This tool is for DMs who are tired of spending an hour generating a monster or NPC only to see their players kill it in a few brief rounds of combat. Using this monster generator, a DM can create a 20th level Stone Giant fighter in a minute or two or 3rd level Drider cleric in just a few seconds. Allowing you, the GM, to either experiment to find the right monster to really challenge your party or simply use the time you save creating monsters to write more adventures.
The monster and NPC generators follows all the rules of Pathfinder Roleplaying game for creating monsters with classes and NPCs. So the monsters / NPC you create with this tool are just as good as the ones you would create by hand. The results can be printed out directly from the web page or use the plain text option to cut & paste the monster into your adventure.
The tool is easy to use. Simply select the monster and optionally select its classes, levels and its skill focus. The focus controls how the monster's / NPCs skill points are used, ensuring that your monster / NPC has the right skills to terrorise your party. Special attacks and class abilities are allocated automatically but the monster generator / NPC generator lets the GM select the feats. Monsters / NPCs also start with their default weapons and attacks but these can be changed, as can the monster's ability scores and size.
Once you are happy with your changes press the RECALCLATE button to see how the changes effect the monster.
The monster generator and NPC Generator are free to use and supplied "as is". If you have any questions or problems, please write to us: CONTACT (at) DinglesGames (dot) com.

Hi Caduceus,
Thanks for reporting the error. I rely on users to point out any errors as I am not DMing at the moment, and am spending my time on the site adding in new material. I’ve corrected the Dragon
Hi liquidhot,
You are right, the generator only copes with CR calculations of CR 1 and above. I can look into correcting this but it was not on my priority list.
Any plans on adding more monsters from the later monster books? I notice that some of the higher end ones like “The Worm that Walks” and “Zuvembie” aren’t included.

Hi aaronsher,
I’ve now added the Undine to the Pathfinder NPC Generator.
I think the CR rating is wrong for NPCs. A Human Rogue Level 1 should be a CR .5, but it is one. Likewise a Human Warrior Level 1 should be a CR .33,

Hi again liquidhot,

Thanks, admin. It is looking great.

Hi Spineraker,
Yes I will be adding in more monsters to the generator. Anything in the SRD can be added
Hi,
I was wondering when you might have the Vanara from Bestiary III up and running?
Hi Hellion257,
I’ve now added the Vanara
