For instance, treat an awakened wolf as a 3 to 5 HD creature instead of a 1 to 2 HD creature. If you awaken an AC, it would lose some of its abilities. This is harder to explain, but you could do so by saying that awakening the animal diminsihes the link between the druid and the creature.</blockquote>
