Path of the Hersir (The Raid Leader)

o Which is the lowest or highest ability score of the creature(this feature doesn’t tell you the number of the ability score nor the ability modifier)

o 1 resistance, immunity or vulnerability of the creature. If the creature has many resistances, immunities or vulnerabilities, the Dm choose which one to reveal

o 1 condition that the creature may be suffering, like the charmed condition, if the creature is experimenting some kind of madness, if the creature has a decease or any effect the Dm may decide applies as a condition like hunger or even depression. This doesn’t necessarily reveal the source of the condition.
