When a monster gains a template that changes it's type, but adds it's original type as an augmented subtype, does the monster still count as its original type for things such as the bane weapon special ability?
An example would be the spellwarped ettin in MM III (page 162). Would it still be vulnerable to a +1 bane vs giants longsword? Would a dwarf still get its racial dodge bonus to AC vs it?
Another example would be a half-celestial human. (Even though it doesn't keep it's human subtype.)
I've scoured my books, but can't find a ruling. :\
