[QUOTE="drjones, post: 4160805, member: 62944"] Well ignoring the utter lack of any evidence that NPC monsters are 'slapped together' with 'no rules' and your cranky tone what is the problem with that? A NPC exists in the game for some reason, to be beat up, to provide flavor, to give the DM an excuse to use a funny accent, whatever. They only need what tools it takes to make that happen. If the person designing an NPC knows that they are supposed to some kind of evil wizard with lots of kick ass powers then who gives a flip if he is a fully stated out with PC class levels or a generic balanced 'monster' with appropriate powers added. From the POV of the players THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE. The only thing making all PC race NPCs require PC class levels would provide is to give Anal Retentive Rules Nuts something to complain about when an official product gives some mook bandit 1 too many skill points in Knowledge: Bass Fishing. I realize this is a major loss for the ARRN for which I am deeply sorry. [/QUOTE]
