I couldn't decide what forum templates will fall under, so I thought I would post this here. So here's an NPC template for the recently released barbarian playtest article.

Barbarian NPC
Power Source: Primal
Role: Skirmisher
Defenses: +2 Fort
Hit Points: 8 per level + Constitution score
Weapon Proficiency: Simple Melee, military melee
Armor Proficiency: Cloth, leather, hide
Trained Skills: Two skills from the Barbarian class list
Class Features: Feral Might, Rage, Rampage

Pretty simple, but my first try at something like this. The only feature this template leaves out is Rage Strike. If you follow the NPC rules, this ability is useless for the NPC anyway, since you wouldn't be able to activate it until 21st level (when you have two dailies). I doubt you would want to burn your other daily anyways. The other class features seem to have equivalents in the other templates and seem NPC appropriate and key to the barbarian.

Please give me any feedback. I'm thinking about making more templates; I really like them in this edition, and am a tad dissapointed I don't see more of them. If anyone has any requests or anything, I'll see if I can make something.

Looks good, but NPC templates typically only receive 2 skills from their class, don't they?

I thought they got the normal amount, I'll go back and check though.

Well, you are correct, thanks. I adjusted it down to two.
