[QUOTE="Ashtagon, post: 6035444, member: 72335"] Since a few of us seem to have touched on NPC classes, I think I have sometng to say there. Those NPC classes that exactly clone a PC class (warrior, adept) should not exist. Such NPCs should simply be low level versions of a PC class. The only NPC class that should exist is "expert", which should have a small variety of "kits" (2e term) that mould it into the various civilian specialists. That said, the aristocrat is the only one worth salvaging and fleshing out into a full PC class (I see it as a "non-magical bard") Any NPC that emulates a PC class (village priest cleric, town guard = fighter or ranger or scout, local lord = fighter or warlord or bard) should simply use a PC class, possibly with pre-selected character options. Players don't get to see NPC character sheets anyway, so it won't really matter so much if two village priests in neighbouring villages have identical stats. [/QUOTE]
