[QUOTE="DarkKestral, post: 3769036, member: 40100"] I don't think there is. Because if we generalize to 'any ability appropriate to a creature of HD X, then we have to determine what is 'appropriate'. And in this case, I'm fairly sure the direct RAW argument would be "If it's not directly tied to level/HD advancement, then it is considered appropriate to that race." So as far as any racial abilities based on HD, we can say that a given ability will only be possessed by the simulacrum if it has the necessary HD. If it has it for being what it is, and is not also tied to HD, then it will have it regardless. An example for the first would be the racial SLAs of a tiefling. The second type would be the Summon Demon SLA of a succubus. It can summon demons because it is a succubus, not because it is a X HD succubus. So I think your argument's not entirely valid for the RAW. I could be wrong. We'd need Hypersmurf or a Sage argument to fully clarify. However, I don't think I'd allow noble djinni into my game unless they have 20+ HD just because of the wish factor. [/QUOTE]
