Hey, I was just going through my Bestiary 4 and came across Nightmare creatures, which, when applied to a creature with 10 or more hit dice, will have the Nightmare Lord template instead. I know that Nightmare Lords are written as having "all of the abilities of nightmare creatures" plus a few extras, but does this apply to the ability score increases as well?
Nightmare creatures are written as having +4 Dex, +2 Int and +4 Cha among other things. Nightmare lords have +2 Dex, +2 Int, +2 Cha written for their ability scores. Is it safe to assume that this is in addition to the bonuses for nightmare creatures? Or is this in place of it.
TL;DR: If I make a Nightmare Lord creature, does it get a total of +6 Dex, +4 Int, +6 Cha, or just +2 Dex, +2 Int, +2 Cha?
