Each monster is defined by it's class already.. the classes just happen to be the race. It always reminds me of basic D&D where you could be an "elf," or a "dwarf..."  Each monster already has a role, and as it stands it's harder to put monsters of a certain race into another role without finagling a lot of rules around.A PC's race doesn't determine things like Hit Dice or Attack bonus... Why should the monster be any different? Splitting a monster into race/class seems more like equal footing to me. Change the class/role of the monster and now you have a whole new set of abilities. Designers will be able to take a monster race, and spend more time giving it unique abilities as opposed to trying to figure out how to allow it to have those abilities.</blockquote>
