[QUOTE="Lonely Tylenol, post: 1903053, member: 18549"] Sooo...has anyone else noticed that the left hand at WotC doesn't know what the right hand is doing? Particularly recently? They've had some major editing and proofreading problems recently. Check out the CustServ responses to questions about the warlock in Complete Arcane over at the WotC message boards. Take note of the fact that they apparently still haven't figured out that Summon Undead hasn't been updated since 3.0 even though it's been printed in two 3.5 sourcebooks. Place bets on the major breaches of respectable publishing etiquette and standards that will be present in Complete Adventurer... It's a new Sage, right? Not Skip Williams, right? Skip used to make some weird calls, but he generally looked up the rules before he went to press with his answers. Whoever this new guy is (and I'm not at home so I can't look in my Dragon), he better get replaced or edumacated or the nitpickers are going to descend like locusts on that column on a monthly basis. (edit) Note the bold text: Maybe it's not such a stupid ruling after all. The rules say that creatures with 1 or less HD have no monster levels if they have class levels. However, the section header says "humanoids," and not "monsters". So while the RAW contradicts the FAQ ruling, it seems to me that they had intended to imply that the class level/monster level issue was only to apply to humanoids, but just screwed up the wording of the rule.
