New campaign, one of DM's allowed races is the pixie class from Savage Species. 3rd level characters. DM is allowing us to mix monster levels with class levels, i.e. if your monster class has 5 levels, you don't have to take all of them before you take any class levels.

Now, keeping in mind that 3.5 has changed how we handle monsters with character classes, how would you recommend handling the first hit die for the character if he were a Rogue?

1. Substitute 1st level Rogue for the hit die (HD stays D6, +2 to Ref. instead of Ref and Will, no +BAB, 8 + int bonus for skills and Rogue skill list) and grant lesser pixie powers 1/day as per the monster class.

2. Fey HD (+2 to Will and Ref, 6+int skills and Pixie skill list) and grant lesser pixie powers, all as the monster class states in SS.

3. Allow Rogue level as level 1, then pixie levels as normal in the monster class.

4. Some other method.

Thanks!
