Hmm.  Okay, quick question.<br/><br/>First things first, the Summoning Ooze (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ex/20040905a&page=5).  An interesting little monster from the Monster Manual II, the Summoning Ooze has a unique Summon Monster spell-like ability that has the following wording:<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">For each additional 2 HD of a summoning ooze above 5, the summoning ooze's summon monster ability improves by one spell level (to summon monster II at 7 HD, summon monster III at 9 HD, and so on, up to a maximum of summon monster VI at 15 HD).</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>The 'up to a maximum of Summon Monster VI at 15 HD' is, presumably, because the maximum HD a Summoning Ooze can be advanced to is 15 HD.  As such, what I would like to know is, if I applied the Titanic Creature (http://www.realmshelps.net/monsters/templates/titanic.shtml) template to raise its HD up to 25, would I be able to get the SLA up to Summon Monster IX?
