[QUOTE="Helldritch, post: 8515256, member: 6855114"] But not for all of us it would seem. This is why the "blend" was so great! Me neither. A monster has always been a NPC. But with NPC mirroring PC, they should follow the same rules. Casters mainly. And minions were great! But with bounded accuracy, they were no longer needed. Which is unfortunate as minions were a great way to add foes without clugging combat with foes with enough HP to slow down combat to a crawl at high level. There is no other way but to look at the NPC spellcasters side of thing. And yes, some NPC had abilities not exactly like those of PCs. That is the whole point of the Blend between the 1-3ed and 4ed styles. This was exactly why 5ed was brilliant in its approach. What you did in your game, is for your game only. Homebrew is great. But it has no bearing on the discussion at hand. Prior to last year, the blend was working as intended. This is a can of worms that should not have been opened. [/QUOTE]
