Tome of Monsters

Studying monsters is vital to surviving their attacks. But knowing their physiology may help you do more than just survive.
Text extracts: “Continuous rapid blows to protrusions on back can impair creature’s balance” “Vulnerable pressure point between fifth and sixth rib” “Tentacles are razor-sharp and capable of snake-like reflexes” “Powerful but inefficient neck. Exploit by changing direction of attack” “Weak abdominal tissue”
A character who studies this Tome for 1 week will gain the following:
As a Bonus Action, the character may attempt a knowledge check-     Nature: For any creature with the Beast sub-type.     Arcana: For any creature originating from another plane of existence.     History: For any creature with the Humanoid sub-type (Bugbears, Goblins, Orcs, other races of sentient creatures).     Survival: For any creature with the Monstrosity sub-type.     Medicine: For any creature that is a playable race or domesticated by a playable race. The DC is 10 plus the creature's challenge rating (rounded up).
