In reply to ricosuave (msg # 43):
Actually, no they don't. If you read the descriptions carefully, it states that they are assumed to be a Warrior; so they have 1d8. Like humans, and dwarves.
Again races with only 1 racial hit die lose the racial hit die upon their first acquisition of a class.
Its not about the monster description. its about the actual rules and how they operate in regards to creatures with only 1 hit die. Which are as follows.
Creatures with 1 or less HD replace their monster levels with their character levels. The monster loses the attack bonus, saving throw bonuses, skills, and feats granted by its 1 monster HD and gains the attack bonus, save bonuses, skills, feats, and other class abilities of a 1st-level character of the appropriate class.
Characters with more than 1 Hit Die because of their race do not get a feat for their first class level as members of the common races do, and they do not multiply the skill points for their first class level by four. Instead, they have already received a feat for their first Hit Die because of race, and they have already multiplied their racial skill points for their first Hit Die by four.
