&lt;div class=&quot;quotes-quote&quot;&gt;
   &lt;p&gt;And that being the case, and since you, Captain, are invading our country by night, under cover of darkness, and I am a humble civilian, I think there&#039;s no rule to stop me from beating seven kinds of crap out of you until you tell me why you came here and when the rest of your mates are going to arrive. And that may take some time, sir, because up until now I have only discovered five types of crap.&lt;/p&gt;

Both types of characters typically follow the same rules for creation, interests, abilities and hit points. Some monsters and odd creatures may not be available as player characters, depending on the game system.
