[QUOTE="Amrynn Moonshadow, post: 4082162, member: 382"] Li Shenron -- true, evey sane person living inside D&D "WOULD" prefer to take a regular class . . . however not every person living inside D&D is born to be a hero. The king of craptown wouldn't need to hire adventurers to kill the dragon if he was a PC class in the first place. Where does that leave the PCs? I just used the NPC classes as mechanical filler. There is no good reason for a blacksmith to have any idea about how to sneak attack someone, or have 4 bonus fighter feats. He didn't go to a war college, or learn to be a rogue . . . but dude needs to have enough HD to allow for him to have 12+ skill ranks in Craft to be able to make good quality stuff. Hence: the expert class. Just my opinion . . . then again, i'm a DM who likes to make things harder for himself. Yes, I've stat blocked random tavern npcs before . . . you're not really displaying a psychopathology unless you're up late at nights figuring out how many experience points a journeyman candlestick maker would have . . .
