Voz Lirayne statblock

[GMScott]

I noticed some discrepancies in Voz's statblock. (Book 1, page 81)

If she's a Human/Half-elf 5th level Wizard (Necromancy) with an 18 Int, 16 Dex, 16 Con, 12 Str, and a +1 Dagger, then she should have the following:
- Dagger +11, 1d4+1
- Spell DC 21
- HP 53

However, the statblock shows:
- Dagger +13, 1d4+3
- Spell DC 23
- HP 56

Is this:
- A typo
- Villain bonus
- Something I'm missing

Thanks

Greetings,

It is based on standard NPC stats out of the DMG.

NPC's don't have the same attributes as PC's

So it's the Villain Bonus.

Awesome, thanks!

In PF2e, monsters/NPCs are totally distinct from PCs and do not use the same methods of calculation. They in general may have higher base stats (AC, saves, DCs, whatnot), but at the same time much lesser breadth of abilities, so it equals out.

Not really a villain bonus, just entirely different way of creating them.

Villains can end up with less skills/abilities and such but we don't call it the villain penalty. It just is what it is.
