Monsters (including humanoid NPCs) already don't follow the same rules as PCs, so you're bringing up a problem that WotC has already decided is not a priority. Keeping DMs from having to create monsters the same way players create PCs was deemed much more important (and rightly so if you ask me - in fact the way 3E handled NPCs was the specific straw that broke the camel's back for me).Thus the answer is no, all those problems aren't nearly as insurmountable as you make them out to be. Yes, there's codified meta-gaming, but you'll have to realize most gamers view that as an acceptable price to pay.</blockquote>
