Patient Bear Wild Traits

This template has access to the following wild traits:

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

• Keen senses (smell). The creature has advantage on Wisdom (perception) checks that rely on smell.

• 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.

• Multiattack: Brutal Bite. (counts as 2 wild traits). When the creature takes the attack action, it can use a bonus action to make an attack with brutal bite:

  Brutal Bite. Melee attack, reach 5 ft., 1d6 piercing damage. If the attack is made with advantage, this attack deals an addition 1d4 points of damage.

• 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.

• Special Attack: Clutching Claws. When the creature takes an attack action, it can replace one of its attacks with a special attack, clutching claws.

  Clutching Claws. Melee attack, reach 5 ft., 1d4 bludgeoning damage. On a hit, the target is grappled and restrained until the grapple ends. A creature that is two sizes larger than this creature is immune to this grapple.

• Special Attack: Crushing Maul. When the creature takes an attack action, it can replace one of its attacks with a special attack, a crushing maul:

  Crushing Maul. Melee attack, reach 5 ft., 1d12 bludgeoning damage. On a hit, the target must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be knocked prone if it is the same size or smaller; on a critical hit, the target’s speed is also reduced to 0 until the end of the target’s next turn.

• Siege Beast. When the creature makes a melee attack against objects and structures, the creature rolls damage as if it had scored a critical hit against the structure or object.

• Skilled Tracker. You gain proficiency in Perception and Survival.

• Sure-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 has advantage on Strength (athletics) checks.
