[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 6045468, member: 87792"] By creating a 5th level NPC you are: [LIST] [*]Semi-arbitarily assigning him a level. [*]Arbitrarily assigning him a class. [*]Arbitarily allocating his stat points. [*]Arbitrarily allocating his feats. [*]Semi-arbitarily allocating his skill points. [/LIST] That's two and two half arbitrary decisions just to get the baking skill for our baker. And a whole lot of allocations. With the 4e system I: [LIST] [*]Semi-arbitrarily assign him as a level 5 due to this being a level 5 area. [*]Semi-arbitrarily designate him an expert (i.e. hard DC) rather than inept or proficient by level 5 standards. [/LIST] Done. That took me all of a few seconds. And was IMO a lot less arbitrary than your way. [/QUOTE]
