[QUOTE="aco175, post: 8515701, member: 27385"] I fail to see how a NPC or monster caster I make needs to follow PC rules. If I make a 5th level caster and I give him an at-will cantrip, 2 1/rest spells of 1st or 2nd level, and a 1/day fireball over 3 slots of these 1st level spells, 2 slots of these 2nd level spells, and 1 slot of these 3rd level spells.. They are about the same in power. My pages ago example of a elf warrior that casts a fireball1/day may mean that several things that the players can find out or not. I might have an elf build where it is modeled of being part fighter and part wizard. It can cast 1 spell of a wizard class at the highest level. Maybe I would let a player play this 'class' At5th level is can cast a fireball, but no other spells like a 5th level caster. I can have 2nd wind, but not action surge, ability boost, or2 attacks like a fighter has. Overall it may be kind of crappy compared to each of the other classes. I have even started to use 4e powers for NPCs and monsters. My 'elf' build above may have 1/day fireball and a 1/rest power that is a close burst 1 attack. I could even make it a recharge ability instead of 1/rest. It lacks anything else cool, but it exists only to fill a certain need in my game. [/QUOTE]
