PC vs NPC entry for Classed NPCs
I have been trying to figure out the best way to create NPCs that I want to level up with the characters. These NPCs will have a class like a PC.
Option 1 is to create an NPC record and then add the stats and abilities for the character's class.
Option 2 is to make the NPC like a PC and then make them GM owned.
With an NPC I can calculate the CR I think based on the DM guide (new to making monsters). With a PC I am not sure how to calculate the CR, but I assume it is the same as an NPC.
Does anyone have any recommendations on which approach is better?

Option 2. Much easier, no maths required.
If there is something that you would like to see in Fantasy Grounds that isn't currently part of the software or if there is something you think would improve a ruleset then add your idea here https://www.fantasygrounds.com/featu...rerequests.php

Also easier to give a PC, that is "GM" owned, custom equipment.

In general, the rules for NPC "foes" in 5e is a stat block like a monster. If you are trying to make a DM controlled character that interacts with the party, then option 2 seems easier.
