[QUOTE="Marius Delphus, post: 260591, member: 447"] Ditto on the NPCs. I'd already started statting out a bunch of them using the "Beyond 20th Level" rules WOTC brought out soon after the PHB was published (GenCon 2000?), but they were somehow dry and lacking in panache. And from the perspective of the campaign in question, lacking panache while also being of epic level is something of a cardinal sin. :D Plus, every darn one of those NPCs ended up with a prestige class or two. That's something I plan to reverse for at least two of them if not more... the epic-level thief (sorry, [I]rogue[/I]), for instance, definitely doesn't need any prestige classes. The rules for continued rogue progression will be welcome. Anyway, it'll be nice to have something official to hang the stats on regarding these characters. [/QUOTE]
