*SPECIAL NOTE* For shopkeepers, remember to read the extra note in the RESETS section. When making mobs, balance is key, too hard of a mob and no one wants to play the game, too easy and it’s munchkin… This is why we have builders from our players, so you know what IS or isn’t a tough/easy mob. Feel free to STAT mobs you wish to emulate, or ask help from another builder if you have questions with statistics.
