Don't bother making character sheets for NPCs, especially not for cannon fodder.

Just write down what you need to know, Stats (especially HT and Will), combat skills, defenses, DR, etc.... I usually assume that cannon fodder has straight 10s, and maybe a 12 in their primary weapon skill. I may decide that one of them has a 14 skill and another one has a 12 ST just to mix things up, FREX.

If their job is to get beat up by the heroes, than you don't need to know if they are Greedy, Lecherous, or good at Chess.
