You have to figure skill points (by level, to account for different classes and int values over the npc's career), feats (in order, by what level you took them for purposes of ensuring you have all your prereqs, etc), etc. Once you give them a buttload of gear, you have to figure all your npc's bonuses (which you often have to refigure a couple of times once you realize that he can have a persistent defender me real good up all the time, then you realize that you let something stack that shouldn't have, etc), plan your npc's spells, work out basic tactics, etc. It's a hell of a process. I'm really looking forward to the promise of quick npc and monster generation in 4e.</blockquote>
