I'm looking for a quick program or tables for creating NPC's. I do them myself, but I need something for cannon fodder. I tend to spend to much time creating NPC's. Does anyone know where to find something like this?

3 step creation:
1) all stats are 3 or 4, so are skills 2) generic weapon damage of desired weapon class (9M for hvy pistol) 3) hazy reaction: all goons have base reaction of 5, plus wired reflexes or drug bonuses you want to give them. Honestly, why would you want to write down cannon fodder goons? I love making NPCs, but only the ones that actually have a role in the game. Anything else can be on the fly. |

Creating goon stats on the fly is good for game dynamics as well. If the crew is finding them too easy, increase something. Too hard, decrease something.
