[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 5494066, member: 22779"] Was he inside a refrigerator at the time? :p DannyA - you posted examples of exceptional unique people (classed NPC's are not normal people) in an attempt to say that normal people are just like PC's. This is patently untrue. It's untrue in any edition. The simple fact that you can grant a PC class to an NPC doesn't make NPC's "normal people" it means that this given NPC is NOT a "normal person". The bartender is a retired 5th level fighter is a pretty common trope, but, note, he's a retired ADVENTURER, not a lifetime bartender/inn keeper who has never ventured beyond the walls of his town. An NPC has lower stats than a PC, lacks access to abilities granted to PC's (exceptional strength, Action Points, to name two examples), cannot survive damage that PC's can actually walk away from, can't use the Death's Door rules in some editions, on and on and on. How much does it take for a PC to not be considered "normal human"? [/QUOTE]
