R 3d6 – Above-Average Stats For PCs and NPCs

The standard RPG rulebook states that “R 3d6 produces characters with above-average stats” but does not specify whether this applies to PCs or NPCs. In other words, the Player’s Handbook Revised specifies that a player character will be above-average in most areas, but an NPC’s stats should be average – that is, with abilities and hit points ranging from three to eight, but no maximum hit points.
