OK, that makes sense, thank you. Along the same lines though, what do most DM's do if they need a higher or lower lvl Assassin for example? Do they just bump the stats up or down as they see fit, or use that as a jump off point to roll a more defined Assassin using PC classes?

I'm a DnD noob, I played a little AD&D in High School, then a long hiatus and played a little 3rd, then skipped 4th and decided recently to pick up a little 5th for reading material in my off time so please forgive my confusion. I'm seeing now that NPC's have types (Scout, Spy, Assassin, etc.)...
