[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 6045888, member: 87792"] I disagree. I think giving up your day job and joining an adventuring party changes one[I] hell[/I] of a lot about someone. It changes various things like the level of acceptable risk people are going to take, how they move, how they are armoured. I would not see anythign wrong with using different stats for the following NPCs The third man from the end in the second row of Hoplites. Odysseus' best scout wearing light leather armour and carrying a bow. A commando who had been hidden in the wooden horse and had now burst out trying to take the gates and cause as much mayhem as possible. They are, of course the same person. As a PC you need to be able to handle all the rules for all those roles at once because resource and skill management is necessary. But I don't see any reason NPCs need to at all. The interaction focus is centered around the PCs and the way the same NPC behaves in all three circumstances is fundamentally different. [/QUOTE]
