I have a question about advancing monsters with templates.
I've asked this in the Q&A before, but I don't think I got a clear answer.
Say I have a Monstrous Humanoid (which normally increases by +1 CR for each 3 HD advanced); I then give it an inherited template which changes its type to Fey (which normally increase by +1 CR for each 4 HD advanced).
Which figure do I use for its advancement?
Technically, since it's an inherited template, my gut feeling is +1 CR for each 4 HD, since it's always been a Fey.
But then again, say the template doesn't affect BAB or saves - the creature advancing is then more in line with a Monstrous Humanoid with its advancement.
If I seem vague by not mentioning specifics of race or template, it's just in case any of my players are reading this.
