Q191
If playing at ECL 4, is it legitimate to build a level 1 Half-Dragon Paragon with no other classes? In other words, apply the Half-Dragon template to the same humanoid HD which you are exchanging for 1 level in a Paragon class which you only qualify for because of the template? Or do the two operations have to be performed in a specific order which would make the first one illegal? As far as I'm aware there's no specific point in the character-building sequence when templates have to be added.
