[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 5995200"] I think it should be reasonable to be able to strip down any given monster to get it within a +1 to +5 LA(using 3e terms). That is: the basic nature of the monster is so so above and beyond that of any other creature. Perhaps you might have to start as a younger version of a creature, one that has not developed the might and powers of it's fearsome adventurer-killing kin. Take the Erinyes for example, it's basically an evil humanoid with wings, de-level it from level 8, toss it a few "monster feats" it can have access to as it advances and you've basically got a playable race. With some spice of monster themes, backgrounds or even classes, we could see progression as say, Fighter 3/Medusa 4 or Drider 5/Warlock 8, heck, we could even have humanoid PC's become monsters through multiclassing later in the game. I hope that in 5e, monsters are playable in one form or another. [/QUOTE]
