[QUOTE="justind, post: 6812660, member: 6813281"] I'm a DnD noob, I played a little AD&D in High School, then a long hiatus and played a little 3rd, then skipped 4th and decided recently to pick up a little 5th for reading material in my off time so please forgive my confusion. I'm seeing now that NPC's have types (Scout, Spy, Assassin, etc.) in the MM, but I seem to remember in 3rd that NPC's either had actual class levels or the limited NPC levels (Aristocrat, Commoner, etc.), and that there was a clear leveling system for them - so someone might be an Aristocrat 6, or Commoner 3. In the MM there doesn't seem to be a leveling system to level up that Scout to level 2 unless I totally missed it. I'm reading through Out of the Abyss and one NPC's that can join the party is a dwarf using the Scout statistics. Now, if she's with the party long enough, do you just level her up in a normal player class like Fighter, does she never level, or does she gain Hit Dice but nothing else? Again, apologies if this is a total Noob question and yes I did try a forum search first. [/QUOTE]
