If your logic were sound then the logic that "published NPCs don't have feats, therefore feats are not part of the game" would ALSO lead to "published NPCs don't have class or level, therefore neither class nor level is part of the game".Sure, you can reverse engineer and kind of replicate some NPC statblocks by saying that if it were this class and this level, then it pretty much resembles this statblock....if you squint a bit. Okay, do the same for the Parry ability of NPC nobles and knights and you realise that they have the Defensive Duellist feat...if you squint a bit.If NPCs did have feats then they would not be listed under 'feats' in their statblock, just like their 'class' and 'level' are not part of the statblock even if you can infer what they must be; they would be listed under Special Abilities, Actions, or Reactions and what it actually does would be written there.</blockquote>
