Getting total HD very, very early

I am in need to getting a hero's total HD very early. Like before First/100 early. So before when most tags are added. I have it mostly working with the term

Code: 
totalHD = hero.findchild[BaseRace].field[rHitDice].value 
             + hero.childfound[cmhHelper].field[cmhHD].value
             + hero.childcount[cBonusHD]

Which counts the race's intrinsic HD, HD due to customization, and bonus HD added on the Classes tab. However, there is an issue with counting classes HD.

I cannot count class levels that have been bootstrapped. I have tried adding
Code: 
hero.haschild[BaseClLev]

but that always returns just 1 if I have a class, not the total number of children from that component.

Ideas? Again this needs to run very early (around First/75).
 
What actually needs that early a count? #totallevelcount[] is available after First/180, so I'd re-examine why your script absolutely needs to come in that early.
 
It is needed to determine MythicTier.MythicRanks based on a creature's HD. I need to set rMythRanks on the BaseRace before First/100 where the MythicTier tags are forwarded to the hero. Since many templates and other things that modify HD do their thing around First/580 I can't simply just look at Hero.HitDice or the like. I also wanted to try to avoid using foreach when I can since I know it can be expensive (this is why I wanted to use haschild). Finally, I also want to set this early enough so that I can use the newly set MythicTier.MythicRank tags for bootstrap conditions.

Unless... is there any reason I couldn't set rMythRanks and manually set the MythicTier.MythicRank tags at a timing soon after First/180?

I also just checked running #totallevelcount[] on an Ogre at First/185. It doesn't work, it returns 0.

In fact I am finding #totallevelcount[] will not return a correct value until after Levels/5000
