Druid animal companion size increase


Rules Questions


Alrighty, my party's druid just hit 7th level, and Hero Lab automatically increased his wolf animal companion to size L, with a massive increase in stats. STR went from 14 to 23, and CON went from 16 to 20. Does that sound right? How would I manually calculate the stats for the size increase?

Thanks in advance!

Base Medium wolf companion has stats:
Str 13, Dex 15, Con 15, Int 2, Wis 12, Cha 6

When it grows to large, it gets +8 Str, -2 Dex, +4 Con

At fourth lvl it got an Ability Score increase, so it sounds like the point went into Con.

By 6th lvl, the Wolf has a +2 Str/Dex bonus.

Thus- at 7th, before the size increase- 15 Str/17 Dex/16 Con, 2 Int/12 wis/6 Cha... large, becomes 23 Str/15 Dex/20 Con.
so, sounds about right... don't forget to apply the HP bonus to the puppers.

also, in the CRB and Bestiary, it lists the base stats and bonus upon enlargement in the stat blocks of the animal.


Thanks for the info, much appreciated! That's...eye-popping!
