 If the Character has an informed Pseudo-Class (such as a Human Bandit, an Lizardfolk Warrior, a Troll Chief) and wishes to take on a full Class, they do not suffer [[Inexperienced]]. Instead, they must determine their [[Effective Class Level]]. To do this, subtract the base HD of the character's race or monster stats to their current HD. This gives the character's [[Effective Class Level]].

	For example, a Hobgoblin has 1+1 HD, a Hobgoblin Chief has 4 HD. This means the Hobgoblin Chief has an Effective Level of 3 - if they wish to rely on their existing training, they have a thac0 of 17 but lose encounter XP. If, however, they use only the thac0 gained from their Base HD of 19, they are able to progress normally - otherwise, they use the stats of their new class.

 Most Characters have Classes or else follow a template that gives them multiple HD and abilities. Typically, only major characters develop - player characters, classed NPCs and antagonists with classes. Other characters may need to, eventually, develop a class - if a Monster (or Classless Character) becomes a Henchman, what can the party do? Monsters, as is, do not have development - only different variants.
-For characters who do not already have a class, such as 0th level characters, children and many forms of monster, they may take a Class of their choice but are considered [[Inexperienced]] - they count as a 0th Level version of that Class and must gain XP to qualify for 1st Level.
