[QUOTE="FourthBear, post: 4105680, member: 55846"] For the kobold, hobgoblin and orc races, I believe they've already stated that there will be write-ups for PC style characters. And, even if there weren't, everything we've heard about classes indicates that they are almost entirely additive to characteristics that monsters already have. So I don't see anything preventing people from simply adding class levels onto monsters as they wish. So it seems that the 4e MM will allow DMs who want out-of-the book encounters with pre-made write-ups possible. And for those who prefer the 3e method of creating your own classed monsters, you can still do so. Or you could just make your own monster-style write-up by consulting the level and role guidelines for monster creation and add your own special abilities. I'm not sure how these premade write-ups in any way restrict or inhibit DMs with their own creations. [/QUOTE]
