Ok, this is something that has always confused me. When you're making a new character, how do you determine what level the character comes in at? For example, let's take a Satyr (LA +2, 5 racial HD) and give it 5 levels of Bard. Is this character supposed to be in a party with the average character level of 12 or 7? If it belongs with the 12s, why don't they just clarify the whole thing and say the LA is +7? It's quite confusing, and I can see both justifications... I just want to know which one is the most correct. Or at least the most used.
As a side note, would the CR for such a creature be 12 or 7?
Personally, I would think that racial hit dice would add to the ECL for most purposes, but this type of character would be in the average party level 7 rather than 12, since a single 12th level character of just about any class could easily dispatch the creature. I'd say the same goes for most other class/race combinations I've seen.
