1st ed ranger conversion?

[slingbld]

True, the hit points can add up. I had a ranger with an 18 con, levels one through four, every die rolled for hit points came up an 8... 60 hit points for a 4th level character!!!! Oh, and the DM had declared that for monks and rangers, only the first die at first level was automatically maxed, had to roll the second one.

I got the e-mail today, I have glanced at it but not yet read it in detail. Thank you.

Where in the SRD's or the PHB does it state that the ranger or monk get 2 hit die at 1st level?
I'm confused....

Rangers began with 2d8 HD in AD&D (1e).

And, back then, monks had 2d4 hit points at first level.
