The NPCs in the BR materials are remarkably unaffected by the rules and
restrictions placed on players in the BR regarding class limits, ability scores,
etc. A list of them would be very long indeed....

Personally, I'd just change the "error" to reflect something allowable by the
rules if you plan on having your players abide by them, or make sure your players
know about the house rule(s) that allow the NPCs to deviate from the norm so that
they can take advantage of them too.
