Message: <blockquote data-quote="The Crimson Binome" data-source="post: 6725051" data-attributes="member: 6775031">My initial concern, based on the blog entries, had to do with the degree to which NPCs were different from PCs. One of the major flaws with 4E, from the perspective of many critics, was the way that the too-different NPCs contrasted from PC-built rules to create a world where it was hard to understand how anything actually worked. There's just no way to reconcile an NPC wizard with 100HP and 1 Healing Surge and a (5-6) recharge Flame Barrage against a PC wizard that had 50HP and 7 Healing Surges and an Encounter-recharge Fireball spell.So I was curious as to how you addressed this, and whether you could convey with similar-enough mechanics that an NPC wizard is supposed to represent the same sort of thing as a PC wizard, while somehow reducing the complexity to a level that was manageable for the GM to create half a dozen NPCs in less than an hour. I don't see rules for NPC creation anywhere, though, so I'm not sure what your solution was.</blockquote>
