[QUOTE="Big Mac, post: 4192106, member: 61182"] Thanks for the info. I'm sure that some of them have an Level Adjustment that pushes their ECL too high. I'm sure that some of them have too many HD to make it easy to play them. But the thought of being able to look through 700 critters to find playable races is very appealing. I made something on Google Docs called [URL=http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dvsjcxp_5dpv9fk]Monsters As Characers[/URL]. It is a cross-referenced list of all the playable monsters in the SRD with ECLs (and LAs and HD). It isn't complete yet. I've got some more monsters to add to the table. At some point I'd actually love to expand it and fill in the missing ".... As Characters" sections for all the monsters in the SRD that don't have them. I hesitate to take on 700 critters, but when you have finished converting everything to 3e, I'd love to have a punt at [B]some[/B] of them. Eventually I'd love to see a collection PDFs of converted monsters (by campaign setting). Something like "Monsters of Maztica" would really help a Forgotten Realms DM to add the Maztica continent to their FR game. And if the playable monsters could be given those "... As Characters" sections it would [B]really[/B] help people play monster NPCs. Beyond the Moons is already onbaord with this concept, although they are still in the very very early stages of developing their [URL=http://www.spelljammer.org/sj3e/#h_MonstersofWildspace]Monsters of Wildspace[/URL] PDF. I'll probably start off with a "Spelljammer Monsters As Characters" list and see how I go from there. [/QUOTE]
