[QUOTE="Alcamtar, post: 199082, member: 3842"] I always write stuff down, so that's not really a problem. Is fudging bad? I don't normally allow NPCs to use GM knowledge of player abilities. I'm not sure I know what you mean by weaknesses, since d20 doesn't include the concept of "disadvantages" -- all character stats are abilities, not disabilities. If you mean the abilities are more likely to be fully rounded in all areas creating a superman, I disagree -- with an ad hoc character I'm more likely to miss something. I still think about NPCs, but I think they are more likely to be realistic rather than adding some personality facet just to fill a Feat slot. The difference is that I'm not spending [i]extra[/i] time trying to make the mechanics fit my character concept. If I have to go back later and fill in missing abilities, I'd do it by concept rather than by class requirements. Yes, that would work. Mike [/QUOTE]
