The fact  that later monsters of the same CR might be more powerful is something is a very disturbing thought with that. I have no idea which of these monsters the PCs will be facing first, they are each at the end of 12 paths, the order of these paths is optional but they all have to be walked to reach some final goal. Each creature's defeat will make the others stronger, that's what I had in mind to make later paths walked still challenging. But I guess there is no definite mechanic to prepare all 144 possible results accurately by simply taking 12 monsters and adding HD's and templates.I noticed the Shadow template I used there has been revised in Lord of Madness and now states that only vermin and animals change their types to magical beast.Btw, not directly CR, but what happens to a creature's speed when you advance HD to the point it's size increases or just decide to increase a creature's size simply to make it stronger?</blockquote>
