=====CHARACTER SPECIES CHOICES:  MONSTROUS SPECIES=====

If you chose one from the Monster list, be prepared for violent or panicked reactions in human and demi-human communities most of the time, for good reason.  I'd strongly suggest against picking one of these unless you have a particular-self driving character campaign plan for solo or small group theme idea.  They will throw too many difficulties and distractions into a regular dungeon party.

**Ape:**   Move see below; AC see below; Class: F;  Ability: Str+2, Int -4; Special: 3 attacks.  Can’t use armor or weapons, can’t speak.\\
  * Level 1: damage 1d4, AC 7, Move 30/Climb 30

A note on troll regeneration: when brought to 0 hit points, a troll character goes through the same 3 chances of CON save to remain alive as other characters, but if he does so, his regeneration will soon return him to the fight.
