i created these creatures at player levels individually and this may not represent the level of the creatures true power or reflect those given in the simple npc builds
also please be aware that the hydra will use the summon creature bane to represent additional heads and thus can gain a larger advantage in turn economy along with the individual defenses and hit points of those heads. also note i am dming a game currently but have not had the chance to play test these so do so at your own/players peril and if used would like feed back on whether they were over or under powered along with any other feed back is welcome
rules for playing a hydra’s summoned creatures
-
the summoned creatures occupy either the same space as the hydra and damage randomly assigned between the heads and the main body
or
the heads of the hydra occupy any surrounding spaces to the hydra -
the summoned creatures can be no further than 5’ - 10’ from its original body and count as occupying the nearest space between the summoned creature and the hydra’s main body
if a dm wishes they can use this rule for the hydra
instead of summoning additional creatures the hydra gains a number of actions = to the number of summoned creatures and the hit points are added to the hydra’s maximum hit points
