That's all it takes to reduce the GM's burden. As for actually implementing it, the tricky part is making the NPC rules a simplification of the PC rules, rather than something completely different. But it could certainly be done. If monsters and other NPCs looked more like C&C chars, stat-wise (things like just two skill numbers, effectively, instead of individual skill scores), that'd be a good start, and the compatibility would still be there.</p></blockquote><p></p>
