[QUOTE="Errant, post: 14736, member: 1926"] Personally I like to use NPC/classed groups. Most of the humanoid races IMC are classed (MM Orcs are those out on their first raids for instance, experienced ones have levels). I do however try to build my NPC encounters based on what the NPC would be doing when the PCs encounter them. If the PCs surprise the NPCs in their lairs, the NPCs are only as prepared as they would be all the time. If the PCs have ticked off a powerful NPC organisation, the NPCs are liable to be prepared and well matched to push the PCs to their limits. The NPCs' Classes I base on campaign circumstances, the NPCs' tactics, depend on how much they know about the PCs. In the end, if the PCs are careless, don't listen to/look for clues, or think about who they're antagonising, I figure they deserve what they get. Major NPC encounters can make for great sessions. Thats how I do it anyway. [/QUOTE]
