CR For Creatures: I don't think the CR of all the enemies you'll encounter in the game will always match what's in the Monster Manual. We had to adjust the CR based on how we adjusted each enemy's stats.

HP and Constitution: Page 134 of the manual has a table that'll tell you what bonus a stat will give you depending on it's value. So adding one point of CON won't give you any HP if the new CON value will be odd. However, if the CON value is raised to an even number, you will get more HP.

Improved Turning: I had a 4 person party and I don't know how I'd have gotten through the areas that have undead without my Dreadmaster. He had a CHA of 16 (with Improved Turning). With a smaller party you start to get a level's hardest monsters/most numerous monsters. While your cleric's level will be high enough to turn easily, don't expect to still be able to turn effectively with a low CHA.
