Sidekick: Monstie v0.2

Added 2022-01-17 03:59:36 +0000 UTC

Hi Everyone,

So this one kind of just came off an idea I had after someone asked about ways to make monsties in the MonsterHunter5e subreddit. My idea, as you can all guess, was to create the monstie as a sidekick clash, like the ones you see in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything. A normal sidekick uses a CR 1/2 or lower creature, but in the case of monsties, you want it to emulate the original creature.

So to fix that I created a monstie template that you build based off of the original monster stat block. Then as the monstie levels up it goes from small size to large and gains more and more features of the original monsters, while still being balanced as a sidekick.

Honestly this one may stay in early access for a very long time and what I am asking from you all is to put together some monsties using this sidekick class and let me know how they run in your games (they should roughly be close in power to your PCs, but maybe slightly weaker). Or perhaps if you have time to just put together some monsties at level 1, 5, 10, and 20 and send me screenshots of their builds so I can compare them to the Fighter Sidekick (Thug stat block base). You can also compare the monsties you make to the fighter sidekick yourself if you grab the comparison PDF below.

Give me your opinions and let me know what you think. If something seems to be missing or far stronger than others, let me know. I would like to eventually get this to a 1.0 version with your help!
