How does aging and the young template work together?


Rules Questions


I'm aware this sounds like a no brained for some, but I want to make sure my player gets the best use of his cohort. He successfully gained the friendship of a young magical beast and through the cohort rules for magical beast cohorts he has opted to gain it as his cohort while it still has the young template applied to it. As such I'm met with a question about what happens when the young template comes off due to the cohort reaching adulthood. Does the entire template fall away at once this removing the dex boost as well as the detriments to the creature? Does only the negative effects come away? I couldn't find a clear answer in the books so I came here to ask even if it means I sound foolish by asking.


If you remove the template then everything is removed.

You can see a similar process in the rules for young PCs.
