I think that if a character wants to play an Ogre or Satyr or whatever, they shouldn't have to wait till level 6 or 7 or higher. Each racial type would be separated out into a 1-20 class progression by itself, and characters could choose to take racial levels in their specific type or take levels in actual classes. Honestly, I think this will be more useful for DMs than players, simply because players will not be likely to take many levels in their racial class. However, it would help DMs with monster advancement a bit more, and give them the ability for more variation within some races.</s><s></s><s>Thoughts, opinions or advice?</s>I've added everything below. I still have some tweaking to do. For example, some of the creatures have a set amount of damage that needs to be rewritten so it's actually based on the character's ability scores instead of the original MM entry.I'd love help balancing the LA numbers, though. I don't want to add or remove any abilities, since I want this to simply be an alternate system for using monstrous races for players and NPCs.Thanks in advance.</blockquote>
