[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 6308191, member: 2067"] They've pretty much explicitly stated that you can do both -- create a level 3 rogue and call it a "bandit," or take your idea of a bandit and make it according to the maths. Most likely, where NPC's reference classes not found in Basic, they'll have all the information right with them to run them. But also, NPC's likely won't just randomly reference non-Basic materials. If there's an NPC with the bard class, for instance, being a bard will be part of that NPC's special identity. Most NPCs who sing around a campfire and work some magic could be represented by being wizards with a minstrel background or somesuch. They'll be very thoughtful about when to use things not in Basic, because it means more page count and more explanation, which means it'll need to have a [I]point[/I], and be thoughtfully chosen, not just "Oh, this guy sings at the tavern, we'll make him a bard." Which is smart. [/QUOTE]
