New Rules for Beasts

Multiple creatures included in the laserllama compendium of Beasts use the new and alternate rules detailed below:

Adjusted Challenge Ratings

Challenge Ratings (CR) have been updated to reflect the threat that such a Beast would pose to four adventurers of that level.

Beast Subtypes

Like other types of monsters (notably fiends), the Beasts here now each have one of the following subtypes: Aquatic, Avian, Brute, Carnivore, Reptilian, or Vermin.

Though, legends speak of extinct Beasts that might exist in the remote parts of the wild world with the Ancient subtype.

Recharge Features

If you use a feature to take on the shape of a creature with a Recharge feature (either on a d6 roll of 5-6 or after a short or long rest), you do not regain the use of that feature until the specified recharge condition is met, even if you revert to your normal form then take on the shape of that creature again.

Size: Diminutive

Diminutive is a new size category for creatures smaller than Tiny. Diminutive creatures are smaller than 1 foot x 1 foot, and include vermin, rodents, insects, and other small creatures.

If you use a feature to take on the shape of a Diminutive creature, such as the polymorph ^LL spell or the Druid's Wild Shape, you immediately revert to your normal form when you take any amount of damage or when you fail a saving throw.

Challenge Rating:0

Beasts of Challenge Rating 0 include the most common and plentiful Beasts that exist on the Material Plane. Beasts of CR 0 are not a threat unless encountered in large groups.

When a creature casts the find familiar spell, they can also select any CR 0 Beast from this Compendium, in addition to the normal options included with the find familiar spell.
