Playable Monsters

[Malcadon]

I don't know if this was addressed before, but I am interested if anyone uses or allows monsters as playable races. If so, what sorts of monsters are used, and what sort of methods (if any) are used to make them playable?

It has been addressed before, in a couple of threads. Here are the links:

(I'm quite proud of the last one; that one's mine.)

Thanks coffee!

I'm well aware that the rules promotes such characters, but I have been interested if folks also use that idea. I find the whole dead to be awesome, and a shame they did not capitalize on if further.

After decades of elves, dwarves, and half-pints, they get really old. In my games, if its humanoid, it maybe played; if it can think, it has a chance. I find Satyrs, Weretigers, and incubi/succubi to be really fun to play. I find Gold Dragons (who can shape-shift), and powerful demons to vary interesting.
