03-14-06, 06:09 PM I am working on a program that will help me add hds, templates and class levels. Been working on it for quite some time now and it starts to shape up, but I still have a few things left to fix and that brings me to a question about adding hds.

If I have got it right a monster that gains hds, gains one feat every 3rd level. But what about ability points, I saw that a monster with class levels get ability points depending on its hd (4,8,12,16,20..etc). Is this the same for a monster with no class levels, that only gains HDs?

Another thing, I saw that the Creature Size table (p314 MM3.5) has a hide modifer. Should not a size change affect the skill value of Hide, what I can read from "Increasing Hit Dice", there is nothing about this?

03-14-06, 09:15 PM A creature gains +1 every time its total hit dice is divisble by 4, regardless of whether those hit dice are racial hit dice or class levels. Every creature either gains a bonus or takes a penalty on Hide checks based on its size. Obviously, if its size changes then this value will change as well.
