I'm about to start an encounter with a Goblin Druid, and one of the spells he has access to is "Summon Nature's Ally". I have a few PCs who play League of Legends, and one of them has a particular hatred for Annie. This Druid also has a Wand of Produce Flame, and I thought it was too perfect an opportunity to pass up. However, the level 1 Nature's Ally doesn't allow a bear as in the Bestiary it's a CR4. If I modded a CR1 monster(say a Wolf), by giving it slightly more HP, using either two claws OR a bite, and make it Medium or Small, would that be feasible, or am I just dreaming too high?
You could just give it a dog stats or have a bear companion.
Better yet make the druid part of a cabal of all female fire users that have bears. In a few levels they can go with fireball and flameshield. Hilarity ensues.
+1 if you name the bear Smokey...
Use the wolf statblock unchanged and describe it as a small (size Medium) bear.
