Actions

Multiattack. The paladin makes two attacks with its quarterstaff.

Quarterstaff. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) bludgeoning damage plus 9 (2d8) radiant damage, or 7 (1d8 + 3) bludgeoning damage plus 9 (2d8) radiant damage if wielded with two hands to make a melee attack.

Reactions

Protect the Innocent. When a creature within 30 feet of the paladin takes damage, it can use its reaction to magically take that damage instead. The paladin doesn't transfer any other effects that might accompany the damage, and this damage can't be reduced in any way.

Rebuke the Violent. When the paladin sees an attacker within 30 feet of it deal damage with an attack against a creature other than the paladin, it can use its reaction to force the attacker to make a DC 15 Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, the attacker takes radiant damage equal to the damage it just dealt. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage.

Hunter's Sense (3/Day). As a bonus action, the monster hunter examines a creature it can see within 60 feet of it, discerning whether the creature has any damage immunities, resistances, or vulnerabilities and what they are.

Clerics

Acolyte, MM pg. 342 or Priest, MM pg. 348.

An acolyte is a very low level follower of a god and does not have any cleric features, but can nonetheless be used to represent people in training to become clerics or paladins.

To distinguish a priest as a cleric of a specific domain, add the following features. These changes do not affect the CR unless noted.

Akadi, Goddess of Air (Tempest)

Followers are light as a feather, skipping and dancing in defiance of gravity.

Auril, Goddess of Winter (Nature, Tempest)

Followers are cold to the touch and rarely complain about chilly weather.

Azuth, God of Wizards (Knowledge)

Followers find their homes piling up with books of arcane knowledge they have no recollection of acquiring.

Beshaba, Goddess of Misfortune (Trickery)

Even masters of their craft tend to trip up and make mistakes around followers.

Bhaal, God of Murder (Death)

Followers must wipe their faces to remove the blood that periodically leaks from their eyes.

Chauntea, Goddess of Agriculture (Life, Nature)

Followers are never wanting for bountiful crops.

Cyric, God of Lies (Trickery)

Followers enjoy the feeling of lies flowing off their tongue and find it physically painful to tell the truth.

Deneir, God of Writing (Knowledge)

Followers often carry a quill pen that never seems to run out of ink, and their packs are always filled with paper.

Eldath, Goddess of Peace (Life, Nature)

Others feel a palpable sense of warmth and comfort from followers.

Gond, God of Craft (Knowledge)

Followers suffer agonising dreams of others destroying their creations and live in constant paranoia when working on a project around others.

Helm, God of Protection (Life, Light)

A shield is always at the side of a follower, whether they're carrying it or someone else is.

Ilmater, God of Endurance (Life)

Followers can run for a thousand miles without stopping to catch their breath.

Kilmater, God of the Dead (Death)

Out of the corner of one's eye, one can see, only through the reflection of a mirror, a skeletal apparition where the follower would be standing.

Lathander, God of Birth and Renewal (Life, Light)

The families of followers contain twins and triplets exclusively, and their children are always healthy.

Leira, Goddess of Illusion (Trickery)

Followers have a knack for spotting illusions and tend to examine their world in more detail.

Lliira, Goddess of Joy (Life)

Others are often unsettled by the relentless smiles of followers.

Loviatar, Goddess of Pain (Death)

Followers can withstand brutal torture without breaking a sweat.

Malar, God of the Hunt (Nature)

Followers are adept trackers regardless of their environment, and once they've found their quarry they are ravenous in appetite, even if this causes some awkwardness.

Mask, God of Thieves (Trickery)

Pairs of followers often "swap faces" for a day or two.

Mielikki, Goddess of Forests (Nature)

Followers are never found sleeping inside.

Milil, Goddess of Poetry and Song (Light)

Followers noticeably glow when they sing or recite poetry.

Myrkul, God of Death (Death)

Followers are pale as a ghost.

Mystra, Goddess of Magic (Knowledge)

Opposing magic always seems to just barely miss followers. They're just outside of the blast of a fireball, or the eldritch blast strikes their ally instead, or a paladin decides to use his words rather than a zone of truth.

Oghma, God of Knowledge (Knowledge)

Followers are occasionally struck by facts they would have had no way of figuring out on their own.

Savras, God of Divination and Fate (Knowledge)

Keen observers know to avoid a room that a follower refuses to walk into.

Selune, Goddess of the Moon (Knowledge, Life)

In the waxing period, followers are exuberant, youthful, and optimistic. In the waning period, followers are mellow, dour, and pessimistic.

Shar, Goddess of Darkness and Loss (Death, Trickery)

Followers frequently seem to disappear into the shadows.

Sylvanus, God of Wild Nature (Nature)

Followers are prone to fits of unbridled rage followed quickly by apologies.

Sune, Goddess of Love and Beauty (Life, Light)

Followers are supernaturally beautiful.

Talona, Goddess of Disease and Poison (Death)

Followers are carriers and spreaders of countless debilitating diseases, yet suffer no symptoms themselves.

Talos, God of Storms (Tempest)

Followers feel a great ache in their bones when the weather is about to change dramatically.

Tempus, God of War (War)

No follower has ever been caught at home when there's a fight to be had.

Torm, God of Courage and Self-Sacrifice (War)

Nearly everyone has a story of the heroism of a dead follower they once knew.

Umberlee, Goddess of the Sea (Tempest)

Followers can hold their breath far longer than they should be able to.

Waukeen, Goddess of Trade (Knowledge, Trickery)

There isn't a business deal in the known world that doesn't benefit a follower in some obscure, roundabout way.

Fighters

Eldritch Knight

This eldritch knight uses a spear to take advantage of its returning weapon to make two thrown spear attacks each turn. You can choose other one-handed melee weapons for your eldritch knight instead, such as a battleaxe or a quarterstaff. This does not change its CR.

An important note: creatures in the PHB that are based on spellcasters without a full spellcasting progression (e.g. the Death Knight using a paladin's progression) use the progression of the class they're mimicking rather than a full spellcasting progression.

What this means is that the Death Knight says it's an 18th level spellcaster despite only having up to 5th level spell slots.

Even though this is the convention, I've chosen to ignore it. Each time the spellcasting trait is used, it's based off of a full spellcasting progression. This helps keep things consistent and helps compare the relative power of different spellcasters. The death knight's 18th-level spellcasting ability is not at all comparable to the archmage's 18th-level spellcasting ability, which does follow the PHB rules but is kind of messy and unclear sometimes.

Since it's simply a notation of the rules, rather than a rule itself, I've chosen to maintain my own conventions. It doesn't have any measurable affect upon play.

Monks

Four Elements Monk

I've split the Four Elements Monk into four low-level elemental benders: air, earth, fire, and water. They fit on one page, so I've included their full statblocks rather than just outline the differences between them.

Paladins

Aspect of Vengeance

To further reinforce that these statblocks are distinct from the class features, this particular creature is actually a celestial, not a humanoid. In addition, its vow of enmity has slightly different rules to the vow of enmity found in the handbook.

We can look at its challenge rating in more detail considering all this empty space we've got here.

Rangers

Rogues

Sorcerers
