Young Template

A beast, humanoid, giant, monstosities or undead* may have the Young Template applied them if it is below the threshold for Adulthood appropriate for its Race. . This can either be at character creation or due to special circumstances. When it becomes Young, it retains all its statistics except as noted below.

Ability Score Increase. Your Strength, Constitution and Intelligence scores each decrease by 1. Your Charisma score increases by 1.

Size. Your Size category decreases by one step. For example, Large creatures become Medium, Medium creatures become Small, Small creatures become Tiny. If your character would already be Tiny, their size category does not change.

Speed. Your speed decreases by 10 ft. If this would reduce it to 0 ft or lower, it instead decreases it to 5 ft.

Natural Weapons. The damage die of any unarmed attack or natural weapons decreases by one step. For example, d10 becomes d8. If they already use d4, they use 1 as a base damage.

Proficiency. Your proficiency bonus has a -1 penalty. For example, at level 1 your proficiency bonus would be 1, at level 5 your proficiency bonus would be 2.

*Undead creatures must be made young either prior to becoming undead, or via magical processes.
