Features:
Body of Optimal Genes: Unlike other monster classes, the Crossbreed doesn't lose its racial traits. The Crossbreed's acquires all the racial traits and abilities of one base race of it's choice, provided that it does not normally require more than one Hit Die and has no level adjustment. It counts as a member of that race whenever it is to its benefit and gains a +10 racial bonus on disguise checks to pass as a member of that race or of its original race.
It may chose one of its saves to have a good progression for that Crossbreed level.

This monster class has but one specific purpose; getting a base race.
It was originally meant to make it possible to have more than one base race but it now makes it possible for a player with a monster class to get the advantages of a base race upon any level up without needing to start with a base race and get Monster Blooded and Monster Hybrid to get into a monster class.

So, ever looked at all the races in the Player's Handbook and thought: "Man, they are all awesome. I can't choose." Well, now you don't have to.
If you want to be the twisted result of generations of selective interracial breeding. Or something. Then the Crossbreed is for you!

Needs a picture.

He put one after you posted that, but hasn't put a post saying that he did.  I post this to prevent the change going unnnoticed.
