NPC's and New Errata and Clarification

[Rich H]

... Lets try and keep it civil, gents, please. Jon, Andrew and Dom are all away at Gencon at the moment so lets behave while our "dad's" are out selling pretend elf games to our compatriots.

Aramis, You've no doubt noticed I capitalise those terms that I'm using in context of their meaning within the rules. There's a specific reason for that. It identifies when I'm using that term for that specific meaning. I don't honestly care what you do in your game, I'm trying to provide some help to someone who asked for it not someone who want's to play the pedant card.

And I'm being a pedant ... if you're fighting them, an NPC is axiomatically an adversary, and should be getting the bonus on great and exceptional success. Otherwise, the threat level is much too low.
