I'm a huge fan of how Forgotten Realms details humansThere aren't subraces, but there are different cultures and nationalities of humans. They are all mechanically the same, with the exception of regional feats. You can choose feats at first level based on your region, which I think is pretty cool. The differences between humans is all fluff in FR other than the regional feat exception.
Do you have an opinion on what campaign settings should be printed in D&D Next? If so, please cast your votes in this poll!

Look unless the monster design is incredibly stringent you can't just randomly pull monsters out of the MOnster book and make thme PCs, did you not notice the hot mess that made in 3e?
I mean basic anatomical issues arise on the case of creatures like the ogre or the Red dragon.
Many people would love to play an ogre or a red dragon. A little forethought for each monster and every monster could be a playable race. Other people might want a pixie or an umber hulk or a beholder or a golem. With the right mechanics this is certainly possible.

I'm not saying you can't have Golem characters I'm saying that it needs to be a separate system from the MOnster manual entries.

The monster manual entries should be crafted so that they provide for 1 hit die versions of each monster as well as 20 hit die versions. It would not be that complicated. 1 hit die versions would all be balanced so that they could all be used as playable races.
The progression for each creature could then be used so a party could meet a 1 hit die minotaur a 5 hit die minotaur or a 20 hit die minotaur and find a suitable challenge.
The Monster manual could state what the most common hit die level is for each creature. ex. kobolds are typically 1 hit die, ogres are 5 hit dice, and red dragons are commonly 20 hit dice.
It wouldn't be that difficult and would add alot of variety to the game.
Players would be slightly more cautious when encountering a creature regardless of their level.

They tried that it was called 3e, it didn't work.
