A Master Monstrous Classes List For D&D

Master Monster Class List: composed by Wolfen Fenrison
This is the master monster class list, with campaign settings like Eberron that have whole nations of monster (at least two that I know of) and one ruled by undead, this makes a great chance for DMs to dust off their savage species book, but wait now wizards has run with the idea so with a slew of reprints and new monster classes someone has to organize them. This list is for any DM who wants to run a monster campaign or has a player that wants to play a race with a high LA and is on this list or just wants to have more options available for their players. Some of the classes have been reprinted and it is the updated reprints that I use for reference.
The list is compiled by; Name, Number of Levels, starting ability score adjustments, Speed, Size, Hit die (max hit gained) , Skill pts., BAB, Good Saves, Weapon and Armor Proficiency, Spells and/or Spell-like abilities, Recommended class(es) for multiclassing, type(subtype), book title and page number for reference. As a side note for outsiders I removed their alignment subtypes because any intelligent creature can have any alignment, and I removed the extraplanar subtype because realistically an outsider that is a player character is from the prime. When selecting an undead monster class choose a suitable race from the Player Race List for the base race.

One thing to be noted is that Flamebrother Salamanders have one more racial hit die and an extra +2 Con in 3.5. This should extend the Savage Species progression an extra level, and most sensibly just add that extra Con bonus on last.
