[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 7265430, member: 23751"] That's just simple logic and reading comprehension. Unless you are suggesting that they are all dead, paralyzed, and in a persistent vegitative state, they have strength, con, wisdom, etc. That means that they have ability scores, whether you know those scores or not. That's logic. The rules also say that they have stats. There is nowhere in the 5e rules that says that they don't have stats, or that you can choose whether or not they have stats. There's a part that says they don't need combat stats, but ability scores are not combat stats. There's a section about choosing qualities, but that doesn't mean that they don't have stats. There's blurb that says you don't need to roll ability scores, but again, that doesn't mean that they don't have them. It just means that you can choose not to know the numbers of those ability scores that the NPCs possess, and just use descriptors. Not one thing in 5e suggests that NPCs don't have ability scores. More reading issues? I've never once insisted that anyone else roll NPC stats at all, let alone 3d6. You know this since we've discussed it for many pages, so I'm going to issue you a "Put up or shut up" challenge. Quote me saying that other people must roll 3d6 for stats or be silent on that issue when talking to or about me. [/QUOTE]
