[QUOTE="Wulf Ratbane, post: 4556885, member: 94"] I think it's possible to get "lost" in the statblock so that it looks like there's more calculation going on than there really is. Here's how I would do it-- all on the fly, all in my head, just jotting the notes down on the scratch page as I do it. Given: I'm already looking at a goblin statblock (probably printed from [URL="http://mikael.borjesson.net/dnd/monster-list.asp"]here[/URL]. My 5th level goblin spellcaster adds: 12-13 hit points, plus 5HDxCON. +2 BAB (that I'll probably never use) +4 Will save (the Good save 2+1/2 HD) +2 other saves (~1/2 the "Good" bonus) Concentration skill maxxed out at 8 ranks And he casts spells, as needed, as follows: a limit of 3rd level spells; up to 3 spells of each level; without even thinking about spell slots. He'll be dead before anything else matters. [/QUOTE]
