What class levels have you given monsters in encounters, to give them that extra edge?

[QUOTE="Son of the Serpent, post: 7970549, member: 7015476"] Never done it in 5e but have done it in 3e. Maybe this could still be a useful couple of examples for you in spite of that. Lich: wizard, sorceror, cleric, knight, druid, warlock, mystic theurge, any of the (insert planar exemplar species here)-ologist or -erist classes such as diablerist for example, or favored soul levels Vampire: wizard, sorceror, paladin, knight, rogue, druid, soul eater (a rare class that usually only monsters have. Its actually not homebrew FTR), fighter, crusader, bard, or sword dancer levels Dragon: wizard, sorceror, knight, paladin, druid, mystic theurge Ghost: whatever you think would be normal for the race it had while alive up to the age it was when it died, also soul eater Nymph: druid (obviously), if the nymph is the descendant of a recent godly ancestor, double the levels by pairing druid levels with favored soul levels. Demon: any of the thrall class levels (as thralls typically will become a demon at some point), warlock, sorceror, rogue, barbarian, fighter Devil: knight, sorceror, wizard, domain wizard, crusader (redo the spells somewhat), paladin (redo the spells somewhat) Celestials: cleric, paladin, favored soul, crusader Modrons: knight, crusader, fighter, factotum Aboleth: warlord, wizard, sorceror, practically any psionic class (but i dont touch psionics classes myself), any ologist or erist class (give them a lot of racial bonuses to these classes features due to the unique manner in which aboleths inherit memories which is unmatched in other species, its also the main reason ilithids cant eradicate aboleths. The advantage is that big.) Ill probably post more later but at the moment i have to attend to something. [/QUOTE]
