CR change:An example (I have not tested this yet - it is just a concept):
Monster Templates: Brute
A brute is a destructive tank. The typically wade into melee to do the most damage possible. It can take and inflict more damage than its typical kin, but it sacrifices its accuracy and ability to avoid damage. You can make the following adjustments to a monster to make it a bruiser without changing its CR:
- add its prof. bonus to its weapon damage on a hit
- subtract half its prof. bonus from its to hit bonus on a weapon attack
- Increase its hit points by 5 for each point of its prof. bonus
- subtract 1 from its AC for every 2 points of its prof. bonus
+Prof/12*# attacks
-Prof/4 from accuracy
+Prof * 5/64 from HP
-Prof/8 from AC
Total:
(# attacks/12 - .3)*Prof
