I'm running a campaign where the PCs have picked up several NPC followers and finally noticed the Extras tab. One of the NPCs is a dwarf, with no special class abilities, he's just a non-adventurer who was rescued by the party and has tagged along ever since, helping out by carrying things, seeing to their mounts and generally being part of their retinue. I'm wondering if you have any recommendations for making him as an Extra, since there is no Monster stat that corresponds to a Dwarf.
The party also rescued a couple of caravan guards during the same session, and for them I was able to use the Humanoid Guard monster as a base, then customize it. I'm wondering what people do for NPCs who are not covered by the existing list.

Start with the commoner and just add the Dwarven features and change the name to Hill/Mountain Dwarf Commoner.
