[QUOTE="JohnSnow, post: 4028827, member: 32164"] The post references, by inference (90 minutes to create a high-level 3.5 NPC) blog posts by Rodney Thompson and Mike Mearls (there's was an earlier thread discussing that right here on ENworld). Mike was extolling the virtues of Fourth Edition by saying that he'd statted up 2 NPCs (a 7th-level gnoll warlock, and an 11th-level human wizard) [i]for publication[/i] in [b]40 minutes.[/b] takasi (and others) essentially responded with "what's the big deal about that? I do it all the time." takasi started this thread in response, claiming that he can't imagine why it was taking the WotC guys so long to come up with an NPC. To which many people have basically answered: It isn't [i]doing it[/i] that takes time, it's doing it [b]right.[/b] With "right" in this case meaning "actually following all the rules of Third Edition." And takasi's attempts to prove us wrong has only underlined the point that his method produces NPCs that are (arguably) [i]functional[/i], but are certainly not [i]correct.[/i] [/QUOTE]
