Populate your world with a vibrant cast of allies, rivals, and bystanders, and ensure you never have to build a commoner or a king from scratch again.
The Pathfinder NPC Core is an essential 240-page hardcover reference for the Pathfinder Second Edition Remaster project. Released in 2025 by Paizo Inc., this volume is designed to save Game Masters hours of preparation by providing a massive library of ready-to-use non-player characters. From the humble farmers and street performers that breathe life into a city to the devious villains and high-level masters of magic that challenge a party’s resolve, this book provides the mechanical backbone for every social or combative encounter. Each entry is optimized for the Remaster rules, ensuring seamless integration with the Player Core and GM Core.
The book features over 250 individual stat blocks, but its true power lies in its flexibility. Each section includes thematic adjustments and easy-to-apply templates that allow GMs to quickly modify an NPC’s ancestry, level, or equipment to fit a specific narrative need. You’ll find specialized entries for non-human cultures—such as goblin "get-gangs" and dwarven generals—alongside random tables and lore gazetteers that help flesh out an NPC’s personality on the fly. Whether you need a quick contact in a dark alley or a fully-realized rival for a long-term campaign arc, the NPC Core is the definitive guide to the people of the Age of Lost Omens.
