Hellfire Wyrm Advancement Corrected

There is an inconsistency in the official description of the hellfire wyrm: it has a base of 23 HD, and it's Huge at that number of hit dice. Advancing it one hit die increases the size to Gargantuan and thus creates a weirdness in the advancement chart. Few if any other creatures gain a size category from being advanced one hit die from their base strength.

Rash accusations of inaccuracy were made by me. The resolution was figured out for the Xaeyruudh campaign.
