Where to find rules for playing monster-PC's?

[Darctos]

I was told that the: "Treat the monster's CR as its total class levels"-rule was dropped. But I couldn't find this anywhere in the books. Can somebody point me where the latest version of the rules to play as a monster-race-pc are?

I have it in Appendix 4 in the Bestiary, no clue what printing it was dropped from.

They don't really have "rules", but those are the guidelines. Monsters were designed for one combat use, so their resource allocation is different than a PC, and they have powers that a PC might not have access to at that level.

As far as answering your question the statement is in the bestiary.

It has not been dropped. Here is a link click me

Thanks! I'll look it up :-)
