Preface
First and foremost Pathfinder has always used templates when it came to transformation into monsters from the vampire to the half dragon. As a result i will now try to put down on pen and paper for all possible stats of mamono so to give them realitisc stat modifier in a Dungeon and Dragon Pathfinder game. Since monsters are before anything else for most of the time people who used to be humans they are handed down as templates wich to apply above a human character base statistics. Bellow is actualy prety much all you need to start playing pathfinder in your favorite mamono world as prety much all the monster girls are humans with class level and special ability wearing a template like a dress up so go ahead and make your monsters like you would make a regular character before adding these afterward.
So yea im a monster and yes im also a knight got a problem with that? Better not because as a fighter before my monsterisation I kept my skills and do can still use them against you.
Monsters are strong!
It doesnt mather how much you look at it Monster are and will always be stronguer then your standard humans not only because they are monster but also because most monster will retain and use any if not all of most ability they had as a human including spellcasting and fighting training. As such a level 20 warrior who became a dullahan not only has all of its ability and class feature as a warrior but also all of the feature of the dullahan. Monsters come in various degree of powers and as such it is simply normal for them to be classified by effective character level. When comparing a monster OC to a human OC always calculate both their bonus -Effective Character Level- and -Character Level- combined versus the actual level of the human player to determine what monster is to powerfull for a human player to meet or fight. Keep note that monsters will for most of them have deadly abilities unavaillable to human OC and as such even by stat standard a monster level 10 witch will likely be stronguer then a level 10 human wizard because of her improved spellcaster level and so on for this reason a level 10 witch wouldnt be considered a level 10 but rather a level 13. Effective character level reduce the amount of experiance a player gains from leveling the number of ECL x 10% meaning that a mamono will always level way slower then a human would.
Fame the danger versus reward system
A character may aquire fame by battling some extremely strong monsters and defeating them. Fame increase monster dice challange rating by 1 per fame point when your fighting monster. Defeating a monster higher then level 10 will always gives 1 fame point. You will lose 1 fame point per hour but the more fame point you have the lesser the cost of items in the order town. All price are reduced by 5% for each fame point you possess.
Templates for non monster behing a hero
It is possible for a character to be as strong as a monster witheout becoming one by actualy achieving the Hero template. Hero is a template that can be aquired by a character working in the order and of at least level 10. Aquiring such a template will increase your effective character level by 1 as well as permanantly increasing your fame by 1 but give you additionnal resiliance and monster slaying abilities making you able to fight fire with fire. A hero gains a +2 bonus to all of its stat and his ECL is added to his character level when determining what kind of monster she may turn into and encounter monster level for monster encounter. All hero gains as well a +2 bonus to all of their saves when resisting special ability and magical effect from monsters. Heroes also are considered 2 caster level higher when determining the power of their spells. Should a hero become a fallen hero it conserves all these class feature including the caster level increase and the stat boost to its base attribute.
Mythic hero
A hero can grow even further in power then a regular character by achieving mythic tiers a mythic hero gain mythic tier at the rate of one per two character level post level 10 gaining its first tier upon becoming a hero up to a max of 6 mythic tier at level 20 (further tier will require the player to achieve specific goals). Each tier gained will also increase the hero ECL increase by 1 as well as permanantly increasing your fame by 1 up to a maximum of +6 ECL and fame at level 20. Keep in mind Mythic tier are optionnal and player may chose not to take them as well as the ECL and fame increase.
Monsterisation level for high level monsters
Anyone can become what he wants by achieving a certain degree of potential. Becoming a specific monster will require specific circonstances to play out. For instance only a Lilim could actualy transform a player OC into a baphomet and only if the player has a child like appearance and or is below a certain age... not to mention the character will at least need to have reached the 15th level in a spellcasting class. Bellow i will write required character level requirement for most high grade monsterisation. By definition most monsterisation will only increase your effective character level by 1 the only exeption to this are the kitsunes breeds as their ECL rises up by 1 for every two tails they attain easily making them for the easiest high challenge monster to turn into.
This is dungeon & dragon dear just because the cannon tells lilim are demon lords daughters only doesnt mean I can't be long as I have the prerequisite for it. In dungeon & dragon anything goes...within reasonable limits of course
Monsterisation table
Every character from the lowliest imp to the allmighty lilim possess class levels those levels determine their actual power, There is no such thing as a monster witheout a class level. The base stat of a human character are added to the fellowing stats to determine its actual stats as a monster. Keep in mind that half breed character such as half elves only gain the stats of mamono they turn into and dont gain the bonuses of the corrupted elve however half elves character gain the ability to wield any elven proficiency weapon they used before transforming into mamono such as half werewolves and half dragon, However all half elves character are always 1 ECL higher then normal human characters no mather if they turn into mamono or not.
Note about monsters ability:
As in their entry note monster who posess a special ability may use it in battle. Depending on the type of ability the difficulty check to resist such ability will be based on fortitude for venoms and poison, Will power for charms and spells, and Reflex for grapples. A monster ability difficulty check is equal to 10 + the monster effective character level. Some monsters have increased caster level and when calculating the damage of their spells are considered as having their spellcaster level as well as their monster Caster level increase. As a general rule a monster having a special ability will always be considered at least 1 ECL higher then normal the base ECL of a monster behing 1.
