[QUOTE="unan oranis, post: 4881292, member: 65462"] I appreciate that a fully statted up npc is not usually a good idea; but two counter points if I may... 1. It's not hard or time consuming to generate, unlike 3e. I input class, race and then push a button, tweaking if I wish afterward. 2. The real pc's would not normally interact with the feats, skills etc so much as to justify a full on character sheet for the villains... BUT that holds true only for 99% of their enemies whom they will never see again. These badguys will likely be contesting the group over numerous encounters, skill challenges and political manuevering. The lack of utility and non-combat details for most monsters is exactly why im thinking of running this "anti-party" as hyper detailed. The middleground, methinks, is to use the monsterbuilder to develop these enemies so that they are only two or three times more complicated than usual, and hand pick a few magic items to give them a chance at navigating a wide range of situations, like a ring of featherfall that sort of deal.
