[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 4598978, member: 12731"] Thanks for your replies. But perhaps I should clarify my request - [I]I'm tired of reskinning[/I]. ;) I would like some [B]ready-made stats[/B]. For instance, the MM gives me level 4 human guards. Even if I relevel them into level 2 "conscripts" or level 7 "veterans" (or whatever) they would all have the same basic build. Same with reskinned monsters. Sooner or later, the player's gonna notice. "Hey, those gnomes have the same powers as the Kruthik we fought back at level 1..." Reskinning is a great concept, but it can be overdone. Besides, it would be more fun and less work to have pre-genned stats. As an example of what I'm looking for I noticed the FRCG included "Zhent Soldiers". They may be only level 5 (and thus easily covered by the MM entry) but to me, this represents variety.
