I'm trying to get a better clarification on this Magic Trait below. The item I am trying to clarify is "this bonus doesn’t increase your caster level higher than your current Hit Dice". What is the hit dice considered:
i.e. a level 1 Bard uses D8.
1. Does that mean said character has 1 HD?
2. Does that said character have what would be consider HD 8?
Would a level 1 character (Caster type) be able to use this magic trait to receive a caster level of 3 in his caster class at 1st level, 4 at 2nd level (caster), ...?
Magical Knack
You were raised, either wholly or in part, by a magical creature, either after it found you abandoned in the woods or because your parents often left you in the care of a magical minion. This constant exposure to magic has made its mysteries easy for you to understand, even when you turn your mind to other devotions and tasks.
Benefit: Pick a class when you gain this trait—your caster level in that class gains a +2 trait bonus as long as this bonus doesn’t increase your caster level higher than your current Hit Dice
