For any monster that a player wishes to use, but has a Level Adjustment or multiple hit dice, you can adjust them to Level 0, costing 0 CP (allowing the player to take a class ''regardless'' of the amount of Gestalting) by taking abilities out (see "Racial Bonuses And Their Costs", below), whose total value is equal to 10 times the creature's Hit Dice plus 8 times the creature's Level Adjustment. (If you end up a single point off, just shrug and roll with it.) Then, choose one of the following rules: | For any monster that a player wishes to use, but has a Level Adjustment or multiple hit dice, you can adjust them to Level 0, costing 0 CP (allowing the player to take a class ''regardless'' of the amount of Gestalting) by taking abilities out (see "Racial Bonuses And Their Costs", below), whose total value is equal to 10 times the creature's Hit Dice plus 8 times the creature's Level Adjustment.
