Welcome back to thread number like 5 or 6 of Occupied Equestria, a My Little Pony RP based heavily upon the Equestria at War mod for Hearts of Iron 4, and using the mechanics of D&D 3.5, and set in South-East Equestria after it has been conquered and split between the Changelings and a foreign fascist power

Onyx is cleaning glasses, Spark has secured a contract to clear a quarry of Zombies for a real estate developer, Silver is eating meat, Ash and Iron are trying to raid what they believe to be a gangster's den, and Dark Star is holding hooves.

In all technicality, only a small minority of creatures should advance as elite PC classes. The rest would be "background ponies".

She could also be an Expert (professional NPC), who took Knowledge (local/medicine), Profession (Dentist), Craft (pharmecudical) and Heal as her class skills. Expert is a good class for NPC creatures that work nonmagical day-to-day skilled jobs (merchants, Carpenters, blacksmiths, sailors, etc).
A healing class would mean Cleric or Adept, but she doesn't really seem extrordinarily devout. Non-magical healing could be a thing too.

Which classes can do that? I don't think potions count because you need to infuse a spell in the potion to have an effect.

>Which classes can do that
Rangers, Paladins, Druids, and Clerics all get Heal as a class skill (which makes it useless, because all those classes get healing spells).
Expert is a class that can have any set of skills as class skills: it's convenient for making NPCs who fill a professional niche.

There could also be a Magewright class from Eberron (professional caster). They get int-based spells that are useful as PCs. With the Magecraft spell, a magewright can get a +5 competance bonus to a profession or craft skill check, meaning that they can produce masterwork items and pass high-DC skillchecks at relatively low levels. It's good for PCs that produce consumable alchemical items, or use professional skills that require expertise.
I'm just nerding-out now. Half of this isn't even actual core material, so don't take it to heart.

NPC classes exist mainly because their simple and easy to advance. NPCs can be made in a cookie-cutter fashion. Making a 9th level adept for the PCs to make revives for is much easier than making a 9th level Cleric. There are even guides that make them easy to mass-produce.
It's usually only special villains or recurring NPCs that may advance with heroic/elite PC classes; the others are usually just NPC classes or s combination of the two.
Giving NPCs classes blank classes like Warrior or Commoner are mostly to determine how many hit points they have (in the case of warriors), or how many hit dice they have (to keep Enchanter from just enslaving a billion commoners at once).

Also, Adepts mainly serve as producers of healing potions, since it's a flat rule that only divine casters get healing spells. They're usually the NPCs you pay at the local temple (if there is one) to bring a creature back from the dead, in exchange for a generous (((donation))); if the GM allows that.
Since the players handbook lists costs for professional and non-proffessional hired labor (since OCs might want to hire henchmen to help carry loot out of a dungeon), Spellcasting services, and other NPC things, NPC classes serve to fill in niches in Urban environments, where PCs usually would normally get the chance to stock up on equiptment and whatnot before they head out to the dungeon.
But again, that's just me being a nerd, regurgitating info out of the books. Build the world however you see fit.

Your initiative is determined by dex.
Rangers can cast a handful of low-power Divine spells, with Wisdom as their relevant stat.

Ranger spells are prepared day by day, but if he asked for advice, I know some cool ones from other books that could serve him well.
Rangers can be pretty great at fighting Aberrations and Vermin.

Feats too, and prestige classes.
There's also an urban ranger variant in UA that could be more useful in this particular campaign.
>>75700
Rangers get Repell Vermin as a third level spell. There are also niche feats for Druids and Rangers that make them better at fighting with/against vermin and Aberrations. Rangers are all about finding and eliminating their favored enemies.
It would depend on what creature subtype Changlings fall under though. They seem to me like Aberrations, possibly with the Augmented Vermin subtype.

In particular, Child of Winter, is a feat from Eberron that allows Rangers and Druids to cast spells on Vermin as though they were animals./: That makes spells like Hide From Animals, Detect Animals, and Hold Animal much more useful in a campaign that includes a lot of bugs. It's a prerquisite for Vermin Companion (let's you bond with a giant spider or something similar) and Vermin Wildshape (let's you turn into a spider or something similar).
Child of Winter requires non-good alignment though, so I won't bother with it. I want to be an exalted ascetic, so I'm sticking to the path of pure Neutral Good.

Favored Enemy is the most unique class feature for Rangers; thus, there are a lot of feats in other books that are related too it.
In particular, Nemesis, Improved Favored Enemy, Murderous Intent, Favored Critical, Extra Favored Enemy, and Wise To Your Ways are particularly useful for Rangers who want to 1-shot their favored Enemies in combat.
