[QUOTE="Shemeska, post: 5133266, member: 11697"] First off, I don't see any need to artificially distinguish between PCs and "monsters". It's just different, non-standard races that take a little extra work for the DM to balance them out. I use ad-hoc LA as I see fit on a case by case basis, and most of my games start out at around level 8 or 10, so there's usually plenty of wiggle room for players to go crazy with anything they want to play - and especially being in planar focused campaigns of mine, you can go pretty dang crazy (Clueless played a cranium rat hive in a oneshot game I ran at NC Gameday once). The cranium rat hive is probably the most crazy I've seen in a game of mine, but there have been plenty of others. I've had players with half-ogre PCs, and currently there's a half-guardinal arcanaloth PC in my current campaign. Myself, in the last campaign that I played in, I played a shadow dragon druid (admittedly he started out as an elf - long story). At some point I truly, truly want to play either a mephit, imp, quasit, or cacodaemon* PC. That would be truly awesome. *forthcoming Pathfinder NE imp-like critter [/QUOTE]
