“Race” Statlines
Statlines are a combination of three values: Body/Mind/Size. These determine the character’s primary functions and secondary stats: Life, Energy, Speed. Monster starting statlines are uniform based on their size. Adjusting a monster’s stats and level gives the player flexibility in creating an appropriately powerful character for their game.
0/6 Stats
The math used to generate different races leads to some exceptional anomalies. Characters with stats of 0 or 6 are not appropriate for player characters, instead they should be used strictly as special enemies or NPCs.

Hero Stats Fantasy “Races”
Ghost 0/4/1 The spirits of the departed, will-o-wisps or elemental sprites with no bodies of their own and therefore no way to attack or be attacked through physical means. If their energy can be drained they either fade away for a time or cease to exist.
Fairy 1/3/1 Tiny creatures that live close to nature. Their ability to fly and magic can make them useful as messengers and effective pranksters.
Brownie 2/2/1 Tiny tribal people that are aggressive beyond their stature and territorial beyond their reach. They attack travelers en masse and steal trinkets from homes of larger folk.
Pixie ¼/2 The largest form of fairy kin, they live close to nature, blending in with strong magic and fighting only when absolutely necessary.
Nekomata 3/2/2 Meaning “Cat monster” these are actually a collection of animal hybrid people. They can vary wildly in appearance and temperament.
Halfling 2/3/2 A race of people very similar to humans except in their size and generally pacifistic nature.
Dwarf 4/2/3 Shorter than humans but with superior strength and resilience. They are expert craftsman and miners but generally gruf and abraisive.
Human 3/3/3 The most numerous of intelligent races with average abilities. They have dominated the land through ingenuity, invention and breeding.
Elf 2/4/3 An ancient and long lived people that are close to nature. Physical frailty is of little concern compared to their superior skills and magical abilities.
Troll ¾/4 A monstrous race of intelligent humanoids that use tribal magic to enhance their resilience.
Orc 4/¾ Brutish creatures that live in clans as raiders and mercenaries. Their barbaric behavior belies their intelligence.
Giant 5/2/4 Intimidating humanoids that dwarf most intelligent races. Their superior strength and size allows them to live in the most inhospitable environments, but makes it difficult for them to get along with other races.
Golem 4/4/5 Constructs of legendary mechanical or magical power. They were made to be loyal warriors though some have degraded over the centuries. They have simple minds but bristle with energy.
Titan 5/3/5 The largest humanoids ever known, now ancient and nearly extinct, they keep to themselves in the ruins of their ancient keeps and temples.
Kaiju 6/2/5 The largest and strongest of the intelligent creature races. Dragons, leviathans, behemoths and other creatures worshipped as elemental gods or feared as demons of apocalypse. They are engines of destruction that are rarely seen and more rarely survived
Hero Stats ModernChildren 2/2/2 Not an appropriate player choice for MonBuilder, but for some NPCs a small human (or alien) can be very effective as objectives to defend or prisoners to rescue.
Adult Human 3/3/3 A student, a detective, a soldier or a scientist, adult humans are generally close in potential, being separated by their skills and access to resources.
Superhero 3/3/3 A caped crusader or masked vigilante starts their day as an average human. What separates them from the citizenry is their powerful traits and custom equipment.

Human 3/3/3 Including humans the universe has developed an average shape and society for intelligent species.
Large Alien 4/2/4 Large folk with super strength always have a place as warriors, laborers and peace keepers.
