Dopplegangers start out with 4 racial hit die and have a level adjustment of +4. So right off the bat, I have 8 ECL. Do I start with 1 character level (and thus an ECL of 9) or do I start with no character levels, just my racial hit die, until I get enough experience to reach level 9, at which point I would get my 1st character level? If my question still isn't clear, I'll clarify.
