[QUOTE="KidSnide, post: 5884930, member: 54710"] I think it's important to have a method for (1) providing class abilities to monsters and (2) increasing the power of monsters. It would be nice if that method was less complicated than the 3.x method of performing PC character creation for some NPC. The problem with just adding class levels to monsters is that you end up providing way more abilities than are needed. My 9th level orc wizard doesn't need as many spells as a 9th level PC wizard. Sure, it would be useful if I [I]could [/I]do that - maybe the orc wizard is a major villain and it's important to define the full range of his utility abilities? But most of the time, the 9th level orc wizard is going to appear for 2-6 rounds, fire off 2-6 spells and then get killed. This second type of orc wizard needs a faster, less complicated NPC creation system. -KS [/QUOTE]
