[QUOTE="UngeheuerLich, post: 5799048, member: 59057"] Hmhmmh... they have skills... in a way you can have any skill you like... just write it on your character... Ability scores as the backbone of skills is like ADnD 2nd edition. If you learnt a skill, it is just a roll against your stat... it actually worked well enough. Also, when a race can give a +1 to stat xxx, stats will play a different role in attacking and defending. And if your stats maybe actually don´t affect those things (too much) you can actually roll stats, and assign them as you want. Influencing what area of skills you are good at. Pick a theme and done. NPCs don´t need to follow the same building rules as PCs and maybe should not. But the result needs to be comparable! This is what I don´t like too much with 4e NPC rules. Attack and damage, defense and HP all are not like PC stats. If the rules are: a npc fighter has xx hp and an attack score of xx.
