[QUOTE="Badkarmaboy, post: 4040696, member: 39489"] Ouch. I don't know if you meant it to, but that came off kinda snarky. I have to agree with the folks who find the NPC/encounter building system unfriendly. I write/edit adventures for Living Greyhawk which means I don't have the luxury of omiting rules to simplify things (which is what I do with my homegames). I would if I could. The CR system is also a pain. When I'm editing I find that authors will try to shoehorn in some crazy creature that's way under CR'd based on all the wacky templates, HD adjustments and such. A good friend of mine created a 1/2 blue dragon advanced Unicorn as part of an APL 6 encounter. It was an absolute beast and WAY under CR'd for what it could do (great attack bonus, decent hp, breath weapon, flight, great AC, etc). Will 4E be this great panacea that fixes all these issues? I don't know, but the fact that it's been addressed and they've taken the time to examine the system gives me hope that these things can and will be worked out. [/QUOTE]
