There is no Player 101 that allows you to remove or add 20 hit points to his PC, either. (Off course, no DM would object to the removing, I guess, but the RAW doesn't say you can do that)To the famous Hobgoblin Warcaster Paradoxon: If a Hogboblin PC wants to become a Hobgoblin Warcaster, he simply can't. He is a PC. He is living a different life then the Hobgobling Warcaster. If he wanted to be like him, he wouldn't be a PC. Off course, there might be ways to get similar abilities then the Warcaster. But he still won't look the same, since the generic Hogboblin Warcaster is not the special adventure/hero type the Hobgoblin PC is. It's like a Rogue 6 PC suddenly wanting to become a Fighter6. He can sure take 6 levels of Fighter, but he won't resemble a "real" Fighter6. (barring extensive retraining according to the PHB II rules)</blockquote>
