I don't think anything but PCs in AD&D LITERALLY have a class as an attribute of the character and are 'classed'. Things that have stat blocks (MM entries or similar abbreviate versions) are not 'fighters' even if, in some cases, the rules will tell you to treat them as such for some specific purpose. The example of the pirate 8th level wizard NPC special figure (for example) is a bit different, they should probably just follow the Magic User rules for attacks and such? It isn't really actually very clear though! I mean, there's not anything saying exactly that they have N hit dice either, so that makes sense in terms of "I need a rule for when this character stabs someone with his dagger." OTOH can the pirate wizard wield a cutlass? Wear leather armor like other pirates? None of this is actually spelled out anywhere! But heck, this is AD&D, its not like a really coherent set of rules...</p></blockquote><p></p>
