I don't think there is an easy way to do this since the variations would be based on individuals taste on how specific NPC's would actually work. At each level, you would have to pick another level to combine with, and that is a monumental task for someone of the power of elminster.

Is something like that actually usable ? Making small alterations of the base classes for NPCs ? Rogue variant: As standart Rogue exeot: bonus Feats at level at level 2 5 8 11 14 17 20 one more good save either will or fort. proficent with all martial weapons and Defense Bonus as Monk in light armor
