I was in two minds about this, but the skills and skill points
should come out right for a 1st level Expert, which I thought
would make a reasonable substitute for giving them racial hit
dice.  And match them having Fey racial hit dice, I think.

Because the race they were converted from by the race-changing
transformation were elves.  I'll try and do a write-up of these.

My mistake.  I originally had them as 'Monsterous Humanoid', then
just changed the 'Monsterous' bit to 'Fey'.

As it stands, without a racial hit dice, the two types are
compatible, but I will change this.


Thanks!
