But creating NPCs that can do things that no PC can ever learn to do is unfair to the players; it's like the DM telling them, "my characters are more special than you because they can do things your characters can never do."
First of all, let me say that I have a lot of respect for your work, and grats on landing a job with Pathfinder, it sounds like a perfect fit.
When that is said, I have got to ask - Have you honestly ever experienced that any player felt that way? If so, was said player over 18 years old? Because, to me, that kind of reaction sounds extremely immature, and could well be attributed to younger people.
I know that some people whine about it on messageboards, but as we all know, the interweb tends to bring out the worst in people, and when it comes down to it all, a lot of what is complained about here, stays here, simply because people know they are going to look silly if ever put forth in RL.
