=== Core Principle ===

The most important thing to remember is that a monster is an alternative to a character, and should be about as useful as a character of the same point total.

For point values, abilities, and factors by tier, consult the following table:

Monsters may occasionally have higher or lower base statistics before Abilities are applied. Their [[unarmed]] attacks shouldn't be more damaging than good weapons, and more than +1 higher HP or Toughness is excessive.

=== Unique Features ===

Monsters often have disadvantages by comparison with humans: they may be stupid, unable to talk, lack opposable thumbs, or be social outcasts, for example. To compensate, it's good to give the monster something different it can do, so it can be interesting in non-combat situations.

=== Advancement ===

Advancement options for monsters are not necessary.
