If so, they become magical beasts with HD = to the orignal animals +2. so does this mean that; You reroll all their hd as d10 they gain dark vision have bab=total hitdice might increase in size (3hd Hienea=medium 5hd Hienea=large) skills from the +2 hd gained through awaken use the new int they get to add +1 to and ability due to lvl gain they might get another feat Should you requier lvl adjustments in most cases, or do the HD and lack of hands/odd shape tend to balance it out?

But I'm pretty sure you don't recalculate hit points as D10s, they don't gain dark vision, I don't think they will increase in size either. I'm sure they get more skill points, feats, and ability increases. I'm not sure whose rate of skill point increases they get for the skill points though.

Does this hold true in this case?if so then; hd=d8 BAB=3/4 get Darkvision And i think an animal that increases in size with HD will still increase in size.
