Picked up Savage Species the other day.
Now, I know that what the book says is that if you start in a monster class, you have to finish it before taking any other levels. And yes, this makes sense in that it stops people taking the juicy bonus most monster classes give at first level before going on to pastures with more HD.
My question is, do you see any fairness/balance problems with letting someone take a few class levels scattered amongst the monster ones?
