[QUOTE="Shalewind, post: 1770814, member: 6146"] Thanks for the quick and excellent responses Ashardalon. I have two more however. 1) I knew that you don’t re-do the abilities for changing type, but… Say a creature acquired a template such as half-fiend and was originally a monstrous humanoid (I know you can’t normally acquire the half-fiend template but bear with me). Its type would change to monstrous humanoid. If I advance the monster, can I advance it as an outsider? The creature no longer has the monstrous humanoid type, so I would assume that I would have to advance it as an outsider. Is this logic wrong, or do I have to advance a creature by its original type only? Does that mean undead advance as their original type. If they do advance as their new type, then my question about saving throws becomes valid, as their saves have now become better or worse (such as a giant to undead, who would then have a good will save, right?) 2) Do Monstrous Prestige classes count as Racial Hit Dice for DC calculations? As I said before, I think Savage Species indicates they do, but I can’t find text (but their example monsters seem to indicate that this is true). Also, is there a SRD or text passage about the spell-like powers. Perhaps I am just fatigued but I can’t seem to find it. [/QUOTE]
