D&D 5E How would adjust a monster's CR for 4 levels of exhaustion?

I would say -2. The speed really doesn't matter and the DC's won't change but it's gonna miss alot.

Any of my players who wander into this thread, kindly don't read what's in the spoiler block here.

How did I not know about the monsters database?!?

Sounds like a cool encounter!

[sblock]I think a CR of half rounded down would be appropriate here. It is going to have difficulty hitting and be rocked in the first or second round against a 11th-level party. Against a 5th-level party, it could be deadly to 1 or more party members. On second thought, I think CR6 is probably pretty close.[/sblock]

Well, by the RAW, starvation explicitly uses the exhaustion rules.

Yes, but that thing is "eternally starved", whatever that is, so I would not bother with usual starvation rules.

Will the fact that it can feed during the fight remove exhaustion levels?

Will the fact that it can feed during the fight remove exhaustion levels?

If it can feed and then get a long rest in, yes.

So if the pcs encounter it, lose a member or henchman, retreat and come back later, they could find themselves in a far worse situation than they think.
