[QUOTE="Henry, post: 6290625, member: 158"] My biggest problem with PF is what was my biggest problem with 3e and 3.5 too, namely a need to make monster and npc stats easier for the DM to be able to accurately come up with stats that would challenge the PCs, but take at most five minutes to put together. 4e did it marvelously with its page 184-185 rules, but the closest i've seen is Benjamin Durbin's trailblazer rules for standardized monster stats by CR, which was on the right path (no pun intended). I love the level of detail for PCs (there are plenty of dials and knobs for them), but the DM needs as few stats per NPC as possible, and it should be as easy to put together a 15th level evil cleric, complete with a few generic attk/dmg spell effects to give him some flavor, as it is to put together a short grocery list. Come up with the math to fix that, spell crunch and all, and you have the perfect game for me. [/QUOTE]
