Saves were, if I recall, the same across the board based on Class and Level. In other words two 17th level fighters would have the same saves vs. Rod, Staff, Wand. Proficiencies were fewer. Under the current system (Edit: calculations are need lessly convoluted) if I don't want to use a stock NPC from the DMG I have to spend hours building one guy and then he gets killed in the first encounter. This is not a big deal at low levels but the higher you go it just gets worse. Does anyone have a method or tips to streamline this stuff?
