If a ghoul oracle 7 were to take eldritch heritage (Ghoul) [silly, I know, but humor me], how would the feat interact with the ghoul's racial hit dice?
Eldritch Heritage reads: Select one sorcerer bloodline. You must have Skill focus in the class skill that bloodline grants to a sorcerer at 1st level (for example, Heal for the celestial bloodline). This bloodline cannot be a bloodline you already have. You gain the first-level bloodline power for the selected bloodline. For purposes of using that power, treat your sorcerer level as equal to your character level – 2, even if you have levels in sorcerer. You do not gain any of the other bloodline abilities.
The 1st level ghoul bloodline ability states: Starting at 1st level, you can grow claws as a free action. These claws are treated as natural weapons, allowing you to make two claw attacks as a full attack using your full base attack bonus. Each of these attacks deals 1d4 points of damage + your Strength modifier (1d3 if you are Small). At 5th level, creatures damaged with your claw attack are paralyzed for 1 round, as the ghoul ability (Fort negates). At 7th level, the duration of the paralysis increases to 1d4+1 rounds, and the claws are considered magic weapons for the purpose of overcoming DR. You can use your claws for a number of rounds per day equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier. These rounds do not need to be consecutive."If you’re a ghoul with this bloodline, instead of gaining this ability (the claws), your levels in sorcerer stack with your racial Hit Dice when determining the DC of your paralysis and disease special abilities."
Would eldritch heritage calculate as ghoul HD + Oracle levels -2, granting a DC of 10 + (2 RHD + 7 [character level -2])/2 +10 + Cha Mod; DC 14 + Cha?
Would it calculate as Oracle levels -2, granting a DC of 10 + (2 RHD + 5 [character level -2])/2 +10 + Cha Mod; DC 13 + Cha?
I know the difference in the DC is only 1, but I'm really curious.
On a side note, without creating another thread, would the resist life revelation of a bones oracle grant a ghoul an additional +2 channel resistance, or would they overlap until oracle 11 when resist life grants channel resistance +4.
