Monster races for PCs


Rules Questions


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Greetings all,
After lurking in this forum and answering a few questions, I have seen several threads about drow and svirfneblin characters and after some time my interest has been piqued.

My question is: When developing a playable character with a monster race with class levels, do you treat those races, for example duergars or kobolds using the character stats listed as you would gnomes, elves, dwarves, and so on that appear in the core rulebook? That seems the easiest thing to do.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and help.


This should help you out! There are specific blocks to use.

Races that don't have specific blocks are a bit of an issue.


Well, yeah. That's how you're supposed to do it.


Yes, the 0-HD races can be used with the stat block that appears next to their Bestiary entries in the book just like any race in the CRB. However, they are not all on the same power level.


Well! Color me impressed. Thanks Cheapy, that is quite helpful, and thanks to everyone else who replied, I was not expecting such quick replies, I must have caught you all at a good time. Thanks :)


Also in the D20PFSRD is a folder regarding the Dragon Empire Races, separate from the monster races.
