Crawling Beetle Wild Traits

This template has access to the following wild traits:

• Agile. The creature gains proficiency in Dexterity saving throws and it can use its choice of its Strength or Dexterity modifier for attack and damage rolls with unarmed attacks. The creature must use the same modifier for both rolls.

• Bulky. The template gains proficiency in Strength and Constitution saving throws.

• Large. (counts as 2 wild traits). The creature’s size is large and as a result the creature gains +2 bonus to its armour class and a 1d4 damage bonus to its melee damage rolls. The large trait replaces the template’s physical ability scores with: Strength 17 (+3), Dex 12 (+1), Con 15 (+2). The creature’s maximum hit points also increase by 1 for each of your druid levels.

• Natural Protection. The creature’s armour class becomes 16 instead of the template’s normal armour class and it does not add Dexterity to its armour class.

• Protective Shell. When the creature takes bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from an attack, the damage is reduced by an amount equal to the creature’s Constitution modifier.

• Special Attack: Poison Sting. When the creature takes an attack action, it can replace one of its attacks with a special attack, a poison sting:

  Poison Sting. Melee attack, reach 5 ft., 1d4 piercing damage and 1d8 poison damage. This attack has advantage against grappled creatures.

• Sticky-footed. The creature gains a climb speed equal to its speed. If the creature already has a climb speed, it can increase that climb speed by 10 feet instead. The creature also gains the ability to move up, down, and across vertical surfaces and upside down along ceilings.

• Strong Wings. The creature gains a 40 feet fly speed. If the creature already has fly speed, it can increase that speed by 10 feet instead.

• Toxic Skin. Any other creature that grapples or is grappled by this creature takes 1d8 poison at the end of each of its turns.
