If I understand it correctly, Racial HD count as character levels for how many ranks you can have in a skill. Does this mean that a psionic character with 4 racial hd could qualify for the meditant prestige classes at level 2 if they had the appropriate feats, practiced manifester (therefore counting as a 5th level manifester), and 9 ranks in concentration? Could they also use reincarnate at a later point to switch to a 0 LA race?
Meditant Requirements:
Skill: Concentration 9 ranks.
Feats: Deep Psychic Meditation (3 times), Psychic Meditation.
Psionics: Manifester level 5th.
Alignment: Any lawful.
