sukael said:Do racial hit dice count for epic status? I'm mainly asking this because of the dragons in the Draconomicon--those with racial hit dice over 20 keep a straight progression of BAB and saves instead of following the epic rules...
Other examples:
- The tarrasque
- Elder elementals (of any type)
Racial HD count for epic status (in that they help determine when a monster is epic). They do not follow the epic level rules for BAB, saves, etc. A 40 HD outsider (fighter BAB) has a +40 base attack bonus (and base saves of +22). A 100 HD magical beast (again fighter BAB) has a +100 BAB (and good saves of +52, poor save +33).
