Sorry in advance if this is old news.
I think I have found a few bugs with the monster advancer - namely it does not seem to be adding size penalties to AC or attack, and is not calculating some ability modifiers correctly.
I took the Giant Centipede and added the Advanced and Giant templates, and added two Hit Die.
The statblock it spits out gives a +2 Dex bonus to AC for a creature with 17 Dex, and doesn't account for a size penalty to attack or AC.
If anyone knows the programmer, maybe someone could tip him off?
What is this "monster advancer" you are talking about?
That's not even paizo owned..?
I think some folks confuse d20pfsrd.com and its affiliates--which are NOT Paizo run--and the official Paizo PRD here: http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd (Which has no "monster advancer").
From the OP's title, I thought he meant the rules were unclear in the PRD.
I flagged this as "thread is in the wrong forum" so the mods will hopefully notice and move it to 3PP discussion.

Just so everyone hears it from the Overlord's own mouth...
Oddly enough, the tool you are using is indeed not the Monster Advancer as much as I appreciate those who have linked to it from this thread. My advancer does not have a "giant" template currently enabled, nor is the AC being calculated improperly at present.
Just for additional clarification...Mine is an independent, free tool to help generate monsters, advance and customize them and it does a lot of fun things with random encounter generation as well. I adhere fully to the Open Gaming License(OGL) and while I have plans to support Pathfinder I have not yet release anything that officially supports it. Even as such, the kind folks at www.d20pfsrd.com do link to my tool as well as one of their own that does the basics of pathfinder monster customization. I am fairly certain the original poster meant to refer to this tool instead of mine.
Have fun advancing creatures and confounding players!
