[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 7239111, member: 23751"] Sure. There's definitely wiggle room with descriptions like that. The PC does have the stat, though. You're just assigning the actual number to that stat when you need it. Back to the issue with @[I][B][U][URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=22779"]Hussar[/URL][/U][/B][/I]. Those stats exist for all NPCs, as the game assumes that everyone has every stat, even if the numbers are not known or needed. You may not need to know what that score is prior to it becoming an issue for your game, but the score was a part of that NPC just by virtue of the NPC existing within the game world. It's an interesting debate, and what it has to do with point buy or rolling is how the DM goes about giving stats to the important NPCs. I'm going to guess that if you don't just assign stats outright for important NPCs, you use the same method the PCs use for your game. [/QUOTE]
