[QUOTE="aco175, post: 9147565, member: 27385"] How much of this discussion affects only a handful of NPCs in one's game? I feel 99% 0f my NPCs are not statted or even really though about until they meet the PCs. There might be one or two in a upcoming adventure that has a hook or even something on his history. I mean, most are their background. The farmer the PCs stop to talk to is a farmer and never gotten to the point of being a PC. The one or two NPCs such as the captain of the guard becomes more as he is needed. If the PCs are meeting a 3rd or 4th time he might get stats and a bit on background and skills. This is where I could handwave feats and +2/+1s as well as expertise and just say he has +6 to hit and deals an extra +1d6 damage because he is cool. I guess the players could try and find out how he deals an extra 1d6 damage, but it has never come up. There could be a simple answer to tell the players such as, because he does not get background, feats, the +2/+1 and combat maneuvers as a PC does. I guess the PC could find a way to drop all their abilities to get this and be easy to play. [/QUOTE]
