I don't care what the character creation rules are as long they're consistent among the NPCs. Which they're not. That's what I don't like.

Check out someone like Roland, for instance. He's a level three tiefling wizard with an Int of 18. Or the human druid Jeorna, also level three, and with an 18 Wis.

They're clearly not following the same rules as the PCs. It bothers me. A lot. I'm sure plenty of players don't care, but I think it's a serious issue.

It's kinda like how the NPC druid bears have different hit point totals than the PC druid bears.
