As far as I could tell the only "tricks" was a simplified skill system, a few "typical feat lists", and guidelines on budget for types of magic items. You still buy stuff piecemeal though, which can take ages for high level PC/NPCs. That's one of the things I loved in 4th ed: You wanna get stuff for a 10th level PC? Sure, pick one 11th level item, one 10th and one 9th, and get gold worth one 9th for minor items. Quick and dirty. I still spent probably a couple of hours making one 12th level dual-class NPC... maybe I'm just too picky but I want the combination of skills, feats and items to make sense for the NPC especially for "bosses" but even the details of a first level warrior. The latter still takes alot less time to make and is more fun IMO, and can be used for many encounters. I'm generally disappointed in pre-gen NPCs, especially in modules were they can be plain wrong or just don't make sense for the NPC in question as the flavour text or in game text contradicts his stats/skills etc. completely.</blockquote>
