Just like in Starfinder, I'm pretty sure, when the final Bestiary comes out, here will be a codified system for monster creation, just not the same as pro creating PCs.

I suppose I'm just a little biased, as the best game I ever ran was based on the old 3.5 "Savage Species" book. I've since always loved the idea that monsters and PCs exist within the same mathematical continuity, and although Pathfinder partly shied away from some of it, they maintained a lot of the underlying theory.

Knowing that the mechanics were unified, helped me feel like the game world itself was unified. For me, the mechanics of a game are effectively the 'physics' of that world, and I like there to be as much internal consistency as possible.
