[QUOTE="Khur, post: 4104119, member: 5583"] We haven't moved toward this; we moved in. Put simply: Gnome as monster? Check. Gnome as PC race? Check. [COLOR=Silver][/end addressing your quote and moving on to a general comment][/COLOR] I've use the abilities of one monster in the MM to change the way another works. I've also just said, "This elf here in the MM—I'll call him human in this encounter, take away his elf ability, and give him a human one." Takes almost as long to type that as it does to do it. But I'm pretty good at customizing and tinkering with the game. I'm sure many of those who complain about "specific monsters" are too. I'd hate to think we expect every new DM to be up to that standard right out of the gate. It takes time to become familiar enough with the game to be able to tinker effectively, and that was true in earlier editions. I'd also hate to think we'd expect everyone to have the time to tinker.
