Hand_OF_Mystra 07-21-06, 10:01 AM	When I advance a monster by hit dice for which I have added a template that changes it's type, do I change the hit die type in accord with the new type. For example, I want to advance a fiendish dire rat. The fiendish dire rat is a magical beast type with 1d8+1. When magical beasts advance they gain 1d10. As I read the rules, if I were to advance it one hit die, the advanced fiendish dire rat should have 1d8 plus 1d10 + 2. Is this correct?
