Monsters as PCs


General Discussion


So the free RPG guide had some conversions for player stats for monsters as PCs. Is there going to be a guide to that in the core rulebook, or will we have to wait for the bestiary book later?

I ask because I want to play a Yithian. Don't need all the powers, but trying to build a race with some little bits of a Yithian seemed like a lot of work. I had the idea of playing a young member of an ancient time traveling race, on the run and bumming around the universe because he considered his people a tad boring and stuffy (cookie for getting the reference).

You planning on being the ship's MEDIC? Or are you just looking for some companions in your travels?

The latter. Although I may have to be a bit of a (non-magical) medic for the crew.

You might need to do a bit of conversion. I suggest making multiple copies of the character as the game ages. Start with like 12 unless the game master helps you to approve more.

I hope the Alien Archive has a race builder like the advanced race guide in pathfinder to help with making up new semi-balanced aliens

Agreed. I'll play a Ratfolk if I need to, but we need more furry options.
