Is there any place i can find prebuilt NPCs? Cause that would be super useful to me right now... Iv been looking for a arcane archer prebuilt or just a archer of any kind really! I have this group of villains in my Japanese set D&D game. They are a group of bandits called the Tanegashimma 6 and each have there own specialties and are almost universally better than the players, a uphill battle for sure, I used the Five spires fire monk master for the fire loving masked killer with clawed gauntlets. I used a hill giant with a my own little homebrew cannon on his back for the brute of the team ( Does like 4D8 ) I used a basic premade halfling thief for the old Gambling old man.. weak but he isnt suppose to be impressive. I used the Elite Drow Warrior for my Ninja and just gave him sneak attacks and assassinate and some ninja weapons and magic. And I used an amazing premade battlemaster i found for Jubai the african born samurai...
But i cannot for the life of me find anything even slightly useful for Gohei the leader.. He is this gun obbsessed pretty boy with a matchlock rifle and 2 pistols and a bunch of explosives and bombs, it was going to be a fun challange where the party surround him on the hill in a old dilapidated cabin but its a trap... Cause its build on a hill about 120 feet away from the tree like and the ground is muddy so trying to climb it is hard, and to make things worse is the mud is full of ceramic pots full of gun powder that will explode if you step on ( like 5D6 ) And he was going to hold up inside the whole time firing at them from within using his stockpile of guns to defend himself and throwing bombs and keeping himself alive without confronting the whole group at once.
Heres the thing though.. I have no idea how to do this.. I figured i should give him crossbow expert so he can ignore reloading and Sharo shooter but if you have any other suggestions let me know.. Can you think of any NPC statblocks i can grab that can symbolize the rest? Something versitile my players wont notice, i was considering using the assassin but... my players are level 6 and that CL 8 assassin WITH assassinate and sneak attack and a gun.. he will basically do 70 damage with one turn insta killing all of them.. ( Especially if they are contending with mud and mines at the same time. I need something deadly but not that deadly...
@TheDanimal, Matthias just showed you the link to the Archer Official NPC, he has nothing to do with the fact you don't own VGTM in dndbeyond so it doesn't shows up. And we are not allowed to copy paste a paying NPC stats in the forum. You either need the book or own it on dndBeyond as it is not in the SRD to see the popup.

Also you don't need to own the book. You can purchase the archer individually for $1.99 and the purchase will count toward a future purchase of the full book if you so choose.
I personally find it really easy to just make up a Human Champion Fighter, and set to the right level. Ignore feats, and just roll with that. Quick and easy.
