Honestly, a better system than the moster as pc rules is to take the CR of the monster, cut it down to 1, and ensure that later level progressions don't outpace regular characters mechanically. Yes, they won't be exactly like other creatures of their type, but if you populate your world with more of the same type as your 'fixed' PC and make the regular ones a more 'developed' version, you'll problably be able to make it work | |

"Winning" in such a way that the PC must be retired could be awesome, but you should probably coordinate with the player first. Winning in a way that transforms the PC into something weaker does not feel like a win... | |

The deity could say "Oh you poor nymph, I pity your limited state so I grant you the boon of ____ you are now a _____ (race) and all your levels of ____ are now levels of ____". I didn't propose that she would have to do the deity's bidding, only that a grateful deity granted her a boon. It isn't necessary that the character even worship the new deity at all. In fact, if you want you could make it a retaliation of an angry evil deity who curses her into another form in retaliation for destroying his servant. But, that feels worse. | |

It's one thing if she's changed into an angel or spirit-of-the-woodlands that's more (or equally powerful), but as part of the reward she can no longer stay with the party because she has to do the deity's bidding full-time. | |
