[QUOTE="TwoSix, post: 6090743, member: 205"] I throw PCs up against monsters who have whatever spells I deem necessary, and have stats roughly equivalent to what I want the challenge to be. If they say "How?", I say "Custom Template". :) I spent two hours a couple weeks ago statting up three lycanthropes for my PCs to fight. Even spending that time, I still ended up making house rule classes for 2 of them because the PF ones are too damn fiddly for NPCs. And the were-liger life oracle just has abilities based around buffing healing, I eschewed any abilities that didn't buff those abilities so I had less to track. Moral of the story: Even if you're running PF, don't feel like the "NPCs are just like PCs!" has to be in effect. [/QUOTE]
