Message: <blockquote data-quote="Theovis" data-source="post: 6421256" data-attributes="member: 3618">My off the cuff response is that an NPC with class levels might have Challenge score of about 3/4 their level, but it might be as little as 1/2.  It's a bit trickier than that, though: NPC's with spells tend to have spellcasting similar to the party (caster level roughly their Challenge score) but an asston more hit points.  A 4th level wizard with access to 2nd level spells might destroy your 2nd level party pretty badly, but you really don't need that many attacks to take him down (he'll have like 22 hp or so).  Initiative and surprise will probably determine who gets murdered.</blockquote>
