Additional Hit Dice for Skeleton

How do you add additional hit dice to skeletons? The option doesn't appear.

The Skeleton is a template, so I think you just add class levels to get additional hit dice.

No, the class levels are removed by the skeleton template.

If you add the Skeleton template to a race that already has racial HD, you're fine - the additional HD selection in the class list will still work, but you should have the option to add additional HD to a skeleton created from a race that doesn't have racial HD (like humans or elves). I've put this on my to-do list.

Thank you. I knew something didn't seem right.
