I am trying to make a sidekick using the rules in Tasha's and am a little unsure about how certain things should work. I am using the following information:
I am taking the 1/2 CR stat block of the Pirate Bosun and adding on 5 levels of the Warrior sidekick class because the player characters are 5th level. My question is about hit die. The Bosun has 5 hit die already, so would adding the sidekick class add on to these hit die, meaning 10 hit die as a 5th level Warrior, or replace them, or would I add on hit die only after the 1st level, meaning 9 hit die.
(I am the GM of the game that this sidekick will be a part of, I am just trying to get the npc stat block created within Beyond for them to use until sidekick creation/management is implemented on Beyond.)

I believe you are supposed to add the hit dice from sidekick levels to existing hit dice. It doesn't say otherwise.
