02-01-06, 09:14 AM What I have read, it seems to me that, monsters that advance and get a new con mod will apply it to all its HDs.

ex from MM2, Example of Monster Advancement, page 21
Old: 6d8+12 (Con 14)
New: 13d8+52 (Con 18)

14 con gives +2 mod, and "6*2 = 12"
18 con gives +4 mod, and "13*4 = 52"

So according to MM2 the new mod applies to all HDs. I thought that seemed alittle strange, and just want to get if confirmed that it is the right way to do it.

I am working on a Monster making program, so I want to be sure to get it right :)

Seconded. Your friendly neighbourhood barbarian can tell you all about the way changes to Constitution affect your hit points.
