[QUOTE="Emerikol, post: 6793486, member: 6698278"] I agree that even as early as 3e we had NPC classes. I never used them and never felt a need for them. I believe the designers would have said they were quicker to create and simple drop in replacements. I think a decent computer program or even a book of NPCs would have served better. I acknowledge their existence and by no means do I claim to know the minds of the developers or even their intents. They promised a lot of things in 5e that they didn't deliver but I'm sure they think they delivered those things. For me, while I recognize all the classes as in world constructs, I also acknowledge that monsters can be designed in any way due to their uniqueness. I also acknowledge that adding class levels from a known class is okay too. In the past when a new class got introduced, I just treated it like a very rare version that the PCs had not heard of before. I've always been a big three or four type guy anyway. Fighter, Rogue, Wizard, Cleric. [/QUOTE]
