[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 4548438, member: 2067"] Mmm...yes and no. If you expect one villain to go up against four characters at once and be able to handle them, he'll need to have the power and actions of four characters all at once. Of course it would be unbalanced for any one PC to have this power (but it might be fair in a game with only one player, for instance, to have each PC combine to create some sort of temporary SUPER-CHARACTER like the summonings of later FF games). If you expect a team of four villains to go up against four characters at once, then each should have the approximate power of one of those characters. It's not about NPCs and PCs getting different treatment, really. I'd have no problem with "villain classes" that are meant for one lone villain to face a party of adventurers, just like I'd have no problem with "hero classes" in a 1-player version of D&D that have the capacity of an entire party of adventurers, either.
