A friend is thinking of running a monsters-as-PCs, evil based game. I've been interested in trying Pathfinder out for a while. Looking up the pathfinder stuff on such, they suggest the best way to do it is to pick a CR, and everyone chooses monsters of that CR.
Has anyone tried this? This would be an all-monster game, so mixing between monsters and normal races wouldn't be an issue. I know there will always be monsters that can break things, but assuming the ST is able to keep an eye out for that, will it work?
Secondly, if you've tried it, what do you do for monsters equipment? Do they get none, or at least none based on their monster CR, just based on their levels in classes? Or do they get it as if they were a PC with as many levels as their CR + their levels?
