According to the DMG NPC classes should be treated exactly as PC classes. However in the various Monter Manuals and the like a Warrior's first Hit Dice is always rolled, whereas a PC always gets the maximum result of the first HD. I haven't found anything else on that matter, so is this really...

One of my players plans to play a Shifter class in the future and mentioned the Warshaper from CW. Is it only my impression that the Warshapers class abilities are way over the top for a shapechanging character? This PRC has no requirements apart from +4 BAB and Shapechanging abilitiy, which...

Can secondary spellcasters like Paladin, Ranger and Hexblade take the Practiced Spellcaster feat before they attain level 4? The feat description lists spellcraft 4 ranks as the only prerequisite, but technically a character at that level wouldn't have a caster level to improve yet.
