[QUOTE="Alcamtar, post: 198925, member: 3842"] Okay, I have a question. It's a chore to make NPCs (including monsters with class levels) in 3E, due to all the prerequisites, class skills, and so forth. I really long for the old days where you just pick a class and roll hit points. Anyway, it would be much easier if I just picked the abilities I want and just ignored the character creation rules.
