[QUOTE="MrMyth, post: 4500462, member: 61155"] You need to tell your DM the following: 1) If your DM wants to give monsters classes, he should use the rules on pages 182-183 of the DMG. He should note this will make the Elite - the equivalent of two monsters - and so he won't be able to use as many of them. 2) If he wants to use monsters with classes who aren't Elite, he should come up with some stats for a 'Lizardfolk Race' (in a similar fashion to the monster races on pages 276-279 of the Monster Manual), and then use that with the NPC creation rules on pages 187-188 of the DMG. 3) If he wants to make monsters higher level, he should simply use the very easy rules on page 174 of the DMG. Or, simply tell him to read the entirety of Chapter 10 of the DMG, and all the rules for customizing monsters, and try to stay rather close to the way they do it. Simply adding class levels to monster worked in 3.5, but does not work at all in 4E! The monsters he threw at you were way more powerful than was appropriate. There are very easy rules for building the enemies he wants, but he should make them by the 4E guidelines. [/QUOTE]
