=== Hit Dice ===
The actual Hit Dice of a child is half that of the base creature's racial Hit Dice. For base creatures with only one racial Hit Die, like [[SRD:Human|humans]], [[SRD:Elf|elves]] and [[SRD:Dwarf|dwarves]], the child has a fractional ½ HD. If a child with one or more racial Hit Dice attains a level in a particular class, this class level replaces one of its racial Hit Dicewill be replaced with a level in that class.
''Note:'' A child of a base creature with only 1 HD that takes up a class with good base attack progression, like a [[SRD:Fighter|fighter]], still has a BAB of +0, since it possesses half a Hit Die and is, technically, 'level 0'.
