Fractional RHD?
Apologies if this has been asked before, can't find it anywhere, including Urpriest's guide.
If you apply class levels to a creature with fractional HD, like for instance a Rat (1/4 d8 hd), do you pay 1 level for that 1/4 of an HD, or drop it? I know rats can't normally have class levels, it's just for example purposes.
I know D&D usually rounds down but both answers seem odd here.

Re: Fractional RHD?
If it's got less than or 1 HD and you add a class level, I think you replace the 1 HD with the first HD from the class level and build from there, ie drop the fractional HD.

Re: Fractional RHD?
I think this is correct. The MM (p.290) says:
Creatures with 1 or less HD replace their monster levels with their character levels
