[QUOTE="dave2008, post: 6926385, member: 83242"] Shin, you are reading to much into my comments and/or their is some miscommunication going on here. I probably shouldn't have responded to the NPC / Character comment in the first place. But I quickly try to clarify. That is not what I said. It is based on a holistic comparison of stats of all available editions, not one edition. I then make tweaks (mostly to powers) that I feel are appropriate or needed to square of with high level and/or epic characters. This thread is only about epic monsters. Epic characters have two good supplements on the DMsGuild and I have thread on the issue I will get to in the future. These are also first drafts. In the 2nd or 3rd draft of these monsters I will refine them based on some play testing against high level and epic characters. I currently have no desire to convert NPCs, but that may change. If I do, I will take the same approach I take with these monsters. I would not "favor" the monsters if I converted NPCs, I would follow the same approach. You are taking that way out of context. That comment was a reason someone might do that, not a reason I would do that. As explained above, if I were to convert NPCs I would follow the same approach I do for monsters. I don't think of them any differently actually. I don't feel this rant applies to what I am doing in this thread. There is nothing I am doing that prevents someone form stating their favorite character or NPC however they want and I don't think a thread on "Epic Monsters" is the place to discuss how NPCs and Characters have been historically under represented in their stats and abilities. If this is something you wish to discuss with the community I suggest you start your a thread about it. [/QUOTE]
