[QUOTE="James Jacobs, post: 2297937, member: 23937"] These won't be appearing in the stat block; we can't include everything. The stat blocks already take up a lot of room... Feats like Toughness, Skill Focus, and Lightning Reflexes won't be called out in the text, since their effects are rolled into the stats. They don't get "activated" like Dodge, so the DM doesn't need to be reminded of them. They'll appear only in the creature's Feats line at the end of the stat block. As for ability scores... I'd guess that 95% of the classed NPCs in the magazine use the elite array, 3% use the nonelite array, and 2% use a nonstandard array. Generally, the ones who use a nonstandard array are BBEGs. In any case, we won't be indicating this info in the stat blocks, since it doesn't really add anything to the stat block or impact game play at all, since the NPC's ability scores have already been generated.
