Bane is way too cheap, fiddling with monster typing, while less desirable to me than putting bane back at the +2 enhancment cost, does get the job done of ensuring the PCs are challenged in their encounters.The other side says thisIf you want just leave the stats alone and just pencil the type change in to your book and mention the change briefly to the PCs who have the relevant knowledge’s saying war trolls are “bred to fight” and “swifter of wit and reflex” than most other giants. Thus it will still be an UberTroll, but the dwarf will still get his dodge bonus and such.If a type gives a major bonus like construct, undead, dragon,  fey or plant , it might alter CR, but giant, monstrous humanoid, magical beast and aberration are not that powerful. Also be watchful of taking a creature out of humanoid since that removes vulnerability to a LOT of things.I am not sure i like having creature saves and BAB set by {Monstertype}. A beat down aberation is just as entitled to full bab as a magical beast.</blockquote>
