In fact, I use plenty of monsters that are above and below the PCs' level for precisely this reason. Sometimes you want an enemy that darts among the PCs like smoke, almost impossible for someone to land a solid blow on. Sometimes you want waves of empty-eyed zombies shambling straight into the blades of their enemies, dangerous only by their inexhaustible numbers.My point is that I don't want to have to spend 5 minutes juggling figures to get to the exact number I want. If my wraithy enemy only has an AC of 13 according to the system's math, I want to be able to up it to 29 for no reason other than I think it works with the monster and makes a better encounter. Likewise if my math says my zombies should have 200 hp each, I want to be able to drop it to 50 because it suits the enemy.</blockquote>
