Message: <blockquote data-quote="JGulick" data-source="post: 4378496" data-attributes="member: 66409">Agreed.NPCs by the book have far fewer Powers, keeping them in line with standard monsters.  Monsters with Class levels, meanwhile, stack their Class powers onto the Monster powers, so have the extra array of options familiar to Elites.On that basis, I might be convinced to say fully-stated NPCs by the PC rules are most probably 'best' included in a combat as Elites... they have the longer power list and the AP.  They lack the extra HP, but if they have a Leader on their side, effectively get it from Healing powers.  They lack the +2 save, but might get near to that from magic items and/or feats.  Or, rather, that's 2nd best... BEST would be to not use them at all, and use the NPC rules as presented because they give the opponent proper class flavor without adding nearly so much bother and swinginess.</blockquote>
