Isn't it better to make Jaison Rog3/ Fighter4? Just for min-maxing

My personal opinion is to make him Fighter 7 only or Fighter/ Prestige class (even Assassin would fit)...

Maybe something like Fighter 6/ Assassin 1 or Fighter 5/ Assassin 2...

Just an idea.

No. That`s never a good reason. If you`re designing anything based on

min-maxing concerns, quit it.

Oh no, if you don`t min-max, the antagonists won`t fit into the CR system, and we`ll have a world of hurt :-)

Heh, if anyone is going through the Atlas like it`s a laundry list, they

deserve any problems they get. "I have defeated Alamie, Avanil, and

Boeruine, next alphabetically is Brosengae! Mount up!"

Hmm... not necessarily; I mean, I too don&#39;t think "min-maxing" is a good way to design characters (be they PCs or NPCs) - what I think is that the rules must represent what the character is in the game world.

For example, if I&#39;m going to build "Sir Lancelot" I have to ensure that, by the rules, he is "invincible" in combat, because in the history he was&#33; If by the rules every fighter 10 manages to beat him, my build is wrong (unless he is Bernard Cornwell&#39;s Lancelot... :lol: ), as it would be wrong if he didn&#39;t have the proper skills and abilities.

Just what I&#39;m saying is that sometimes a character has to be "strong" in the rules for his roleplay to be correct.

Well, I don&#39;t min-max the realms I describe, I use the 2nd ED stats. So don&#39;t worry...
